OK,...thanks.
It is most likely "vi" Most MTS' at Bell Labs used either "ed" or Emacs. I think someone was pulling your leg
or they were incredibly ignorant.

I spent 30 years with AT&T/Lucent/Avaya myself - the bulk
of it here in the Denver area. But my time as a MTS at
Bell Labs doesn’t match up with your years.
There was nothing like the old building on 120th.
in the WE warehouse space. 120th & Pecos in Westminister. My office was 31-F-25;

I was in the warehouse space also, and I do remember it
was ‘D’ aisle, In building 31 also - but don’t remember
the room number.
It was a maze back there in the far depths of that place.

Good times for a lot of years.

Well I learned today I got turned down for that job without ever being told what this “UNIX VI” is. But they had been adamant this was an OS release, not the silly editor.
CentOS - community version of Red Hat.
version 6 came out recently:
From the site...
“CentOS 6 Releases
December 20th 2011
The CentOS team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-6.2 for i386 and x86_64 Architectures.
CentOS-6.2 is based on the upstream release EL 6.2 and includes
packages from all variants. All upstream repositories have been combined into one, to make it easier for end users to work with.
“
Thanks...
Even CentOS seems to know better than to call it “VI” because of the colossal confusion that would create.
And it’s Linux.
And it’s a version of Linux that most businesses with any appreciable volume of business wouldn’t bother with in preference to the formally supported and support contract available Red Hat.
I never did find out from those folks what this UNIX VI was. But they didn’t want to hire me for the job. Oh well. I’m looking at EPIC now, which has gotten interested enough in me to have me take some commercially administered programming logic tests tomorrow.
