There is a shareware implementation for vi under DOS.  It was written using
the small memory model and Turbo C.  This directly implies that you can not
edit files > 64K.  I believe Simtel20 has it up on their MS-DOS archives.  If
you don't have ftp access, leave me mail and I'll send it to you as a
uuencoded .ZIP file.  I use Unix quite often, more so than I use DOS nowadays
and going back to Wordstar (compatable) editors is a pain.  I move around very
quickly in vi and when I got wind that there was a shareware/PD implementation
of it, I jumped at the opportunity to obtain it.  Just keep it mind that this
version of vi is a subset, but it isn't missing much.
