Two that I know of.

Yep, that's one of them.  The other, Stevie, is better - improvements
notwithstanding.  Especially V3.69 which was recently posted in
comp.sources.misc and which implements "some of the more common ex commands"
(quotation contingent on my memory and may not be precise).  Furthermore,
since it's shipped as source (portable to ST, PC, Minix, and Unix that I
know of), you can improve it as you see fit.
