There is.  The problem, though, with porting Unix and Windows editors to
VMS, and this goes both for TECO and vi, is that in the Unix and Windows
world all files are stream files and you wind up with editors that can 
only operate on stream files.  Or even worse (as was the case of a vim
port I used), will convert other files into stream_lf files without warning.
