If your system has vi or a clone, try vi -e, or, if the symlink is set up, ex. Technically that’s vi in ex mode, not edper-se but it’s about as similar as you’re going to get without a lot of pointless bother.
That is, it’s an editor that works in almost exactly the same way as the original, but it’s by somebody else.
ex is to vi as vi is to vim, or C to C++.
That is, the latter grew out of and improved upon the former, but you can still use them like their forerunners if you really want, which is why vi has an ex mode and why you can still use pointers in C++ if you’re sufficiently warped.
