Well as far back as 1979 all the ex commands were present in vi, and from ex
you could use the "open" and "visual" commands... so they seemed to be the
same program.

There was a serious improvement in vi some time in '80, though.

Back to the subject... I guess nobody's interested in a copy of 'ed' in 'c'...
