PC/VI is available from Custom Software Systems
			P.O Box 678
			Natick, MA 01760
			(617) 653-2555

They also have a suite of Unix-like tools for MS-DOS (PC/TOOLS).  I have
been using both PC/VI and PC/TOOLS for about a year now, and am quite
happy with them.  I believe that the tools cost $49.

I speak only as a (VERY) satisfied customer.
