On getting vim text editor ("vi improved") for FreeBSD, you can either pkg_add
or use the ports system, where you build from source code with a convenient
setup. You can check http://www.freebsd.org/ and check the documentation,
including the handbook and ports system.
I've heard of Cygwin but never run it because I don't have MS-Windows
installed. From what I read, it creates a Unix-like environment under
MS-Windows.
I hear that MS is getting rid of 16-bit DOS compatibility, so you might not be
able to run DOS software under Win 7. But you can go to
http://www.dosbox.com/
DOSBox can run under current Unix-like OSes and also MS-Windows. You may be
able to download a win32 installer, I just found it there, would that run on
64-bit Windows?
I have run (Borland) Quattro Pro 5 for DOS under Linux, NetBSD and FreeBSD with
DOSBox.
