We got a shareware vi that wouldn't do substituion and, therefore, was
pretty disappointing to use.  Then we got the MKS toolkit, by Mortice
Kern Systems, Inc. and besides getting a full-blown vi, it had many
MANY other useful utilities like grep, awk, cpio, find, diff, mv, sed,
sort, wc, which, and a k shell.

MKS toolkit is available to Egghead computer stores here in the Seattle
area for $150.  The vi editor alone has been worth it.
