There is good Public Domain version of VI available for MSDOS
machines which was posted to comp.binaries.ibm.pc about 3-6 months
ago. I have a copy of it if you would like to try it before
you go with one of the more complete commercial versions of VI.

I have used VI for many years on UNIX systems and feel that this 
public domain version is very adequate for most editing jobs.
It doesn't include the ex line editor commands. If you use these
commands often I suggest you go with one of the commercial versions.

If you are interested in trying it, I can mail it to you.
