	GNU Emacs has two different flavors of vi emulation, named
`vi-mode' and `vip-mode'.  Since GNU Emacs runs on VMS, a really
twisted person could probably run what looks to him like vi on a VMS
VAX.  Or he could run an EDT emulator instead.

	By the way, I have also noticed that former EDT users get
along better with Emacs than with vi, probably because EDT and Emacs
both feel modeless, while vi isn't that way at all.
