<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Thanks Matt & Matt :). This is what
I was looking for and thanks for the background, too. Oh, and duh,
it didn't occur to me to go looking for the source. Off to see
about rendering my own from source!<br>

bug for bug vi compatible that I've used for so long on
FreeBSD. It handles cursor keys, these days (my biggest gripe
back when, now I'm not so sure it's an improvement). It's
in-app help pages are about 300 lines long, the docs are just
four of the 4.4 docs: An Introduction to Display Editing with
VI, Edit: A tutorial, EX Reference Manual, and VI-EX Reference
Manual - all very well written and understandable. It does
everything I really need it to do without the million and one
extensions and "enhancements" the others offer.<br>

to find is a scanned image or pdf of the card for 4.4bsd.<br>

Pardon the quality and host, not in a place to do a more
thoughtful scan and archival right now. That was in a stack
of documents I received some time ago, thrown in with stuff
like V6 and KSOS manuals, some BSD docs, etc. so I presume
it's also "official" fare. That and no commercial indicators
(TMs, copyrights, etc.)<br>
<br>
Let me know if that link doesn't work and I'll try and find my
scanner and do it properly (scanner is MIA apparently...)<br>

P.S. I also have the AT&T branded version of this from
1984, it's a small 22 page flipbook with the same cover motif
as early SVR2 binders (so the grey with some "deathstar" lines
not the red with black accent dots). Once I find my scanner
I'll get that on the glass.<br>
