[ignoring the sarcasm]
Yes there is a VI for windows. Try MKS Utilities. Let me know if you 
need reference information.
Another possibility is textpad32. It runs on Windows32 systems, and 
I would guess NT is compatible with its needs. It is shareware, so you
should be able to find it through search sites, like yahoo. If not,
let me know and I will get you contact info.

HTH,
