Ok, 11 may work: I wish not to be considered an insensitive person.

Dosn't muLinux have any version of vi? muLinux has "elvis-tiny"; this is
a vi clone. I don't know how much featured it is, because I never used
macros and other power vi tools. I only use: w,q,a,i,y,p and, whenever
it is possibile, I switch in command-mode with ":" to perform
replacemnts, etc.

I have a VIM for libc5; it is about 200K. Elvis is only 60k. I if get
space, I can add VIM in the WKS, but it seems a such waste!
I prefer things such a ".wav -> .mp3" converter. I know only bladeenc,
but it come with restricted license and, also, I have no sources.
