[comp.editors] public domain vi clones

wsmith@m.cs.uiuc.edu (09/07/88)

I am looking for the source to a public domain vi replacement.   

I have vtx from the comp.sources archives and am trying to do some comparison
shopping.   I have heard there is an editor eddy (sp?) that may be what I
want.  

Any information would be appreciated.

Another vi clone was posted with source a few months ago.  It is
called STEVIE, a vi editor for the ST. There are source 
switches to compile it on MS-DOS.  It works fine there.

As always, the above is my personal opinion and not that of my
employer and no guarantees are implied or given.

                          Good Luck,

I have seen a copy of Stevie, a VI clone originally done for the
Atari ST, but recently ported to UNIX and OS/2.  I have ported
it to MSDOS.  I don't know if it is public domain, but there is
a distinct lack of copyright notice within the source and
documentation.

I got it off the net a couple of months ago, but you can contact
