Try getting STEVIE. It's a fairly robust vi clone, and should be available
in source form from an archive site near you. It's much better than
vi.com.

While I like STEVIE, it seems limited to files of about 200k (I've not
experimented exhaustively) which can be limiting sometimes. OK so
I just got the binary, can it do better?

How about an anonymous ftp site for the STEVIE DOS binary?
