This would be GREAT. Yes, I am sure it would be possible to display some intro
text on a startup when you invoke vi with no arguments. (VIM already does
this). The only question is *which* VI to put on a rescue disk. Minimally
built VIM is 350k, which is probably too much :) Also, it uses ncurses.
If there is an interest, I could dig up some other vi versions (even very old
ones) to find the smallest "free" vi.
