Does anyone know of a vi type editor that will run under cp/m 3.0?

Thanks,

You might look into VEDIT by CompuView.  It is VI "type", although
certailnynly not VI compiatible.

Dr. Bruce Wampler's TVX editor (public domain) exists on SIMTEL20 in two forms:
in PD:<CPM.C128>C128TVX2.LBR is an older version that is "vi-like" but does
not have the same exact user interface as "vi", however, it is small enough to
run on a CP/M 3.0 system (mine has 58K TPA).  On PD:<MSDOS.TVX-EDITOR> is a
newer version with an interface which comes closer to emulating "vi", but may
be too large to run on a 64K system once compiled (I'm not sure, never tried).
There are conditional compilation sections to support CP/M.  The source lang-
uage is "C".  The .COM file in C128TVX2.LBR is set up for an ADM31 terminal
emulation - if you have any other terminal type, you will have to re-compile.
