I see a subject line of "No subject"; I must have forgotten to copy the intended subject line.
Going back to 2001, I used Enhanced Editor (EPM) in OS/2 Warp 4, but was forced off this editor cold-turkey when the system crashed sometime during the single-digit days of April 2001. CHKDSK, running automatically upon reboot, ran amok and trashed my data, and I was never again able to boot OS/2, even from floppies, it always trapped (000c or 000e). So then I used Tiny Editor (T.EXE) and DOS port of elvis in DR-DOS 7.03. As I tried to retrieve data, I ran DR-DOS from floppy and Iomega Zip 250. Tiny Editor was more beginner-friendly, but elvis was much more capable. I believe the vi I use is nvi, not ported to DOS as far as I can see. NetBSD calls it vi, while FreeBSD calls it both vi and nvi, hard-linked. FreeBSD but not NetBSD also has ee (Easy Editor). Gentoo (Linux) likes to use nano when I prefer nvi!
