Our vi package, which is a subset of our Toolkit, containts vi, crypt,
ctags, fg (to recall vi after putting it to sleep), fmt, glob (wildcard
expander), jobs (to see how many sleeping vi's there are), sort, and
switch (to change DOS switch character) for $75 US.  Seems like a good
deal to me, but I may be biased.  :-)
