There is an ad in Nibble for an alternate shell environment (named VIX) 
with the source code. It was published by a company called 'Eclipse 
Systems'. They also included a text editor (w/o source). I'm not sure 
why they marketed another shell unless it was designed to use the older 
DOS version of Aztec C assuming this is even possible. Sadly I cannot 
locate anything else regarding this shell so it may be yet another lost 
II gem. I hate to see old software like this disappear. I hope someone 
can eventually provide a copy.

Cheers,
