Stevie was a clone of Bill Joy's vi editor created by Tim Thompson for the Atari ST in 1987. It later became the basis for Vim, released in 1991.[1][2] The name stood for "ST Editor for VI Enthusiasts".[3]

Thompson posted his original C source code as free software to the comp.sys.atari.st newsgroup on June 28, 1987.[4][5] Tony Andrews added features and ported it to Unix, OS/2 and Amiga, posting his version to the comp.sources.unix newsgroup as free source on June 6, 1988.[6][7][8][9] In 1991, Bram Moolenaar released Vim, which he based on source for the Amiga port.[10]
