Just in the off chance you haven't run across it yet, you might want
to check out "MKS Toolkit" by Mortis Kern Systems. If you are a
died-in-the-wool Unix hacker, its pretty hard to beat the set of Unix
command utilities (including "vi", "ksh", "awk" and a whole host of
others) that MKS provides in a quality fashion. It ain't free, but
IMHO its well worth it.
