Yes. It's called Stevie (ST VI?). I'm not sure where you'd be able to
get it from, though. I got my copy from the University of Lancaster, UK,
via a friend. I've only used it a little bit, and well, it's OK, but the
major reasons for using it in my eyes aren't yet implemented. There is no
global change facility ('ex'-type command), and the undo facility isn't
implemented yet. There are large chunks missing, really. It's also very
slow at doing inserts. I guess it's OK if you're hell-bent on using 'vi',
but I prefer to use micro-emacs (currently 3.8b, shortly to be 3.10)
for the simple reason that it's *much* more fully implemented.
Does anyone else know where Steve could get hold of Stevie in the US?
I've only got a binary, by the way. If necessary, I guess I could uuencode,
compress & post it. Any takers?
