Hi 

You can get VI clones from GARBO mailserver in Finland.

Just mail a message to mailserv@garbo.uwasa.fi and they will return information
on how to get further help

I think the word 'VI clones' is somewhat misplaced.  Most of these programs,
like 'Calvin' and 'Elvis' have severe limitations, like the inability to do
proper substitutions, take multiple files, etc.

What I would like to see is a *real* VI, as in '/usr/ucb/vi'.  Has anyone
done a thorough investigation in PD VI's ?
