[comp.sys.ibm.pc] VI for MSDOS

krs@pbhye.UUCP (01/27/87)

Anyone out there have experience with the UNIX "VI" screen
editor for MSDOS???  I've got some Compaq's and have found
EDLIN a painful experience.  Any info would be helpful, like
who makes it, are there any features left out that are in the
SysV version, are there size limits, etc.
Thnaks in advance!

     I received a brochure in the mail for PC/VI from

         Custom Software Systems
         P.O. Box 678
         Natick, MA 01760
         617-653-2555

     It costs $149 and says that it is "FULLY COMPATIBLE with the
UNIX VI editor".
     I'll post a followup when I recieve the program

I'll second the recommendation for PC/VI from Custom Software Systems.
I've been a satisfied user for some time.
