Yes, arguably the best unless one needs files bigger than a #56k buffer will 
hold.  When running on the newest nitros9, it has to be renamed both 
internally and in the directory entry because vi clashes with the vi window 
descriptor.  I didn't have a copy of ed around, so now my copy is called 
'ed'.  More than one way to skin that cat. ;-)  Or as one wag said a year or 
so ago, "so many cats, so few good recipes..."
