This just verifies that you're playing word games. If you want vi that's not vim, may I ask which *version* of vi you would consider to be vi - one from, say, Sun OS 3? Or from the Irix that ran on our Indigo in the early/mid-nineties? or one from Tru-64 in the late nineties? or were you insisting on one that ran on a system from the early-to-mid-eighties?

SunOS 3 Vi source not available to the public. Irix Vi source not available to the public. Tru-64 Vi source not available to the public. ....

You currently may have the vi source from aprox. 1979 under a 4 clause BSD license or the current Solaris vi under the CDDL. The latter was POSIX compliant approved.
