Before distching vim, then maybe check if an upgrade helps. From 7.4

Why would anyone want use vi, or vim on VMS?
What is wrong with eve/tpu? or even LSE?
EDT, EVE and LSE are the VMS way to edit.
I always use a heavily customized EVE.
But if somebody is doing 98% *nix work and
2% VMS work, then vi(m) may make sense.
OP asked. I am sure he knows about the VMS
editors.
