With all the talk about Epsilon and Brief for MS-DOS, I thought
I would put in my 2 cents worth (again!) about PC/VI.  Yes, I know
as well as the rest of you that editors are a religious issue and
it's been EMACS vs. VI for years.  However, whereas Epsilon (and others)
are a reasonable EMACS implementation under MS-DOS, PC/VI is a FULL
implementation of VI (version 3.7) under MS-DOS.  For those of
us who prefer VI to EMACS, PC/VI was a long awaited present.

Also, for those who DO have PC/VI, version 1.01 came out about two
months ago.  If you didn't get it, and the new user's manual, you
should contacts CSS right away, the program hasn't changed alot (mostly
bug fixes and optimizations, not much in added features) but the new
manual is excellent.

If interested, you can get PC/VI from:
