That is Gunnar Ritter's /The Traditional Vi/, a slightly
modernised version Bill Joy's vi from 2.11BSD, now
abandoned.  I have not found any historical versions
archived there, except Ritter's own development history in
CVS.

I thought the enhancements might be of interest. As stated on the
project home page:

    It adds support for international character sets, including
    multibyte encodings such as UTF-8, and some minor enhancements
    that were not present in BSD vi 3.7, but had been included in
    later vi versions for System V or in POSIX.2.
