I have a 7th Edition installation that includes the Berkeley package. The
USB package includes over 60 commands, 'vi' and 'more' are among
them.
There's also a new 'man' that knows about more, so viewing man pages is
done a page at a time. Other than installing the Berkeley bits, adding the
RL02 driver to the kernel and rebuilding df, it should be a fairly close
match to the original distribution tape.
I usually use Bob Supnik's PDP11 emulator. The vanilla emulator works very
well but it's a bit of a CPU hog. On Linux I've been able to tone that down
by adding a nanosleep in the main processing loop.
The distribution is on two 10 megabyte RL02 images. If you would like a copy
of them, let me know and I'll make arrangements to make them available.

Depending on the speed of your simulator, you
could perhaps try to stop the output temporarily
with ^S (and restart it with ^Q). Together with
the ability to scroll backwards within the output
window you should be able to read what is coming
out of your simulated system... ;-)
E11 starts from a DOS box, which would be fine, since you can set the
length
of the screen buffer in a DOS box, but it takes over the screen. So the
buffer disappears and the screen becomes only 25 lines long. So the
scrolling
backwards trick doesn't work.
As far as speed goes... under Windows 2000, E11's speed is highly
variable. I
think, from reading the E11 manual, that it has something to do with disk
caching. I imagine that it's probably much more consistent under DOS, or
the
DOS-based versions of Windows.
