Re: Away in a manager
Come to think of it, somebody out in userland is bound to run across this thread when searching for a version of vi to run on a PDP11 (or emulator). For old versions (dating back as far as ex-1.1 in 1BSD), you could do a lot worse than poke around in the archives at tuhs.org. For a more modern take, try nvi. 4bsd at tuhs has an early version, but the nvi homepage is https://sites.google.com/a/bostic.com/keithbostic/vi/ ... all of these should compile on a PDP11 without difficulty.
Hopefully this is useful to somebody, somewhere, someday.
