I'm not sure whether you are aware of this or not but if you are
a non-commercial user, you can get your free copy of Solaris 7 for either
Intel or SPARC platform only for the cost of media and S&H charge. Please see
following URL for more detail on Free Solaris if you are interested:

] I'm wondering if there's any vi(or clone) that supports UTF-8 in a
] locale-*independent* way so that it can be used to edit UTF-8 files on a
] system(mostly Unix) without UTF-8 locale. I'm aware that Solaris 2.6/7
] has UTF-8 locale and that with LANG/LC_CTYPE set to one of UTF-8
] locales(e.g. en_US.utf8, ko_KR.utf8) vi has no problem editing UTF-8
] files. However, what I want is vi that works for the poor who have to
] use a version of Unix without UTF-8 locale (just like localized versions
] of vi for Korean,Japanese,and Chinese make it possible to edit files in
] EUC-{KR,JP,CN,TW}, Big5, Shift_JIS, ISO-2022-{JP,KR} regardless of
] whether corresponding locale is available). A quick web search led me
] to NIL result. Is there any one working on this?
