This is an irrelevant comment which is only designed to start up another "religious" editor war. No doubt the poster who asked about VI for DOS has heard numerous times that there are better and newer editors available, but he still prefers VI -- as do I, and many others. So, take note that he didn't ask "is vi the best editor", but rather, "where can I get vi for DOS", and don't post irrelevant replies. Personally, I use the MKS Toolkit, which provides a very nice implementation of VI. They are at uunet!watmath!mks!toolkit. Wolf -- Wolf N.
