- "Vi" is the standard full-screen visual text editor used in
- UNIX systems (UNIX is an AT&T trademark). With Oak Hill Vi
- (TM) you can run a powerful vi-like editor directly on any IBM
- or compatible personal computer.

- Oak Hill Vi is especially effective on laptop computers.
- Because it does all editing in in-core buffers, Oak Hill Vi is
- especially fast and compact. It also minimizes RAM-disk usage
- and the noise, delay, and battery consumption of floppy disk
- drive operation. The program can edit files over 250,000
- characters long (more than 100 typed pages) depending on
- available memory, and special utilities are provided for
- breaking still larger files into convenient subfiles. It even
- has an optional "visual beep" to replace the usual audible
- one, making Oak Hill Vi easy to use in meetings without
- disturbing others.
-
- Except for a "greeting" screen that explains shareware
- registration procedures, Oak Hill Vi is exactly the same as a
- "shrink-wrap" commercially sold, professional vi text editor
- by Oak Hill Software, Inc. The commercial product, which
- lists at $195.00, has been in use for over two years as the
- standard DOS text editor in a 2000-person software development
- organization in a major research and engineering company.
- With Oak Hill Vi, you can try the same editor free for 30
- days, and pay only $60 to register should you decide to
- continue using it. Details appear in the Oak Hill Vi user's
- manual and in the license agreement, excerpted from the
- manual, below.
-
- Hardware Requirements: Any IBM compatible computer
- with 256K RAM,
-
- Other Requirements: MS-DOS 2.x or higher
