Subject: vi & DJGPP

Has anyone ported a version of 'vi' to DJGPP?

I tried to compile elvis, [from prep.ai.mit.edu], using
the Borland/DOS options and defines as a starting point and linking with
libpc.a, but, although I could tweak the sources to get it to compile,
I was not really clever enough to get it to run.  It didn't look wholly
unpromising, but perhaps someone has already done it ... ?

I'm specifically looking for a version that looks at the GO32 environment
variable via GR_default_text so that I can use text modes above 80x25
(but start from and return to the 80x25 mode for DOS).  I'm using 'vim'
(non-DJGPP-compiled executable from simtel) now but it seems to be limited to
the 80x25 mode.

Yes, I know about the vi mode for emacs, but I prefer a standalone
'vi' [and vi is better for cannibalizing the code for spare parts].
