->Does anyone have a version of good 'ole UNIX vi for Windows ? ->How about getting a well-behaved DOS vi to run in a window ? I have the DOS video bios version of the lastest Stevie vi-clone that runs fine under Win 3.0 in enhanced mode, by just poping up a DOS "command.com" window. No problem with cursor movements, etc.

I've been running the MS-DOS vi clone STEVIE in a window under
Windows 3.0 on my 386 and it runs very nicely. STEVIE is available from
various archive sites, and I think it's a great port of the real thing.
