	I have inherited an Intel 310, bearing an 80286 chip but
running Microsoft (not sco) Xenix, dating back to 1984-85 or so.  It's
a balky system, it doesn't work great, but I want to play with it to
learn more about systems.
	The problem is that the only editor it has is VI.  No offense
to VI users, I just prefer not too -- too much Emacs training.  I
would like to find an editor which is vanilla as heck and will compile
on an old, old C compiler.  Can anyone here recommend one?  I did try
joe, and jove, and neither made it past the compiler.  Both gave me
error messages which I was unable to fix.
	Thanks in advance for any help -- email reply is fine unless
you feel this is of general interest.
