Yep,i use VIM on those platforms too (now i am writing this message on a DOS
machine) + FreeBSD and AT&T Sys V,but on 2 other machines i prefer ZEDIT
(CP/M-86/80) and LSE (VAX/VMS) ;) So i can't say vi is my only editor..

Hmm i tried upgrading QEMM to 8.x but it caused huge memory overhead
(my system is dual monitor so i have less high memory than average user
does) - so i switched back to my old 6.0.
btw what ip stack for dos do you use?

I use it now - is it better than old qdpmi.sys?
...and about all that OD-related talk..
Caldera said "multitasking",so i was waiting for Concurrent DOS kernel..
I was really afraid they could offer Novell DOS pseudo-multitasking system
instead - and they did ! :((
I am now thinking on switching back to PC DOS 7.. if the hope is completely
lost.
