'vi' is driving me crazy

At least on Windows, I have installed cream (cream.sourceforge.net),
which gives you the syntax of vim, with the Ctrl-C et. al. of other gui
apps.

It runs on top of vim with no other external programs.

I don't know if it will work on Linux, and I have it running without
gvim.
