I have a pretty good one available via anonymous ftp from meediv.lanl.gov
[128.165.196.1] in [.vi]. There is vi.sav, a VMS saveset, and vi.sav_z, a lz
compressed version of vi.sav. lzdcmp.exe is also in that directory.

This version is in continuous use by our Unix gurus that get stuck (in their
opinion :) ) doing VMS work and they really like it.
