Hi,

I'm new to this news group and am actually posting this for a friend.
I'd appreciate it if any response could be mailed, as I am not a
regular reader of this group.  Thanks in advance for any information
or advice.

-------------------------------------------------------
We have a need for an editor to install on our prototype "Black 
Box" controls to interface to the engineer/programmer.  
It was suggested that "vi" type editor would be a candidate.
Is something available in "shareware" that we could use?

SPECS:
1) stripped down vi w/ only basic text functions
2) fits in ~8K bytes
3) can be accessed by terminal emulation PC-VT or equivalent
4) source code in C that we have rights to copy for internal use
5) doesn't cost us much $$
6) doesn't use complicated UNIX functionality
