OpenVi: Portable OpenBSD vi for Unix systems
Using Carsten Kunze's actively maintained continuation of Gunnar Ritter's (outstanding) traditional ex/vi project is highly recommended. See https://github.com/n-t-roff/heirloom-ex-vi/.
The parent project on SourceForge hasn't had any activity for 15 years, nor a release in 17+ years, but still contain various known bugs, all of which are fixed in Carsten Kunze's project.
