I can't help you with the f77, but a real 'vi' type editor is
sold by MANX (the AZTEC 'C' People).  Its called 'Z' and does
everything 'vi' does, except that it does not come bundled with
'ex' as 'vi' does. This means you don't get to do 'ed' like commands
by typing ": ".  I originally
thought this might be a serious limitation, but since I also have
'ed' for the PC (from the Lattice 'C' people) I don't mind.
The only "clincher" regarding 'Z' is that it has a file size limit
of around 56k, regardless of how much memory you have (guess they
felt they needed to stay within the bounds of the SMALL memory model).

I have been using 'Z' on my PC for about 3 months now, and have
not found any bugs in it.
