Everyone keeps telling me there is a public domain VI clone
for DOS (ug). Any pointers would be helpful before I go
bonkers.
Thanks.

The only real hang-up I had with it was that it only allowed the cursor keys on the number pad to be used to move in the file, and I personally like to use the hjkl keys!! -Tim ******************************************************************************* * Hewlett Packard - San Diego Division Timothy M.

The latest version of "stevie" from the minix archives does a very good job of emulating vi. It lacks some of the ex commands but they will get incorporated eventually I'm sure. Source is provided. Check either the comp.os.minix or comp.sources.misc news groups for the latest posting. If you have real difficulty, let me know and we may be able to work something out.

I tried to mail back to the original poster but it bounced. The VI is on the archive server at sixhub. I'd mail it but I'm off on a trip and won't be back for some weeks. Send mail to uunet!crdgw1!sixhub!archive-server saying send help to YOURADDRESS and send index to YOURADDRESS Then order what you want. The address can be internet or uucp starting with any mapped site (you don't need the whole path). -- bill davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.crd.GE.COM -or- uunet!crdgw1!crdos1!davidsen) "The world is filled with fools.
