was just a patch
that changed some minor things so there should be no filesize related
problems. Shoot me if there are.
File sizes are similar, some of the names were changed to protect the
guilty (Doublespace replaced by Drivespace due to the requirement to
remove Stacker code -- which had undocumented repercussions, if you
ever found a need to restore any data backed up from a DOS 6.0-6.21
system onto a 6.22 system -- turns out some of that Stacker code was
there in the MSBACKUP program as well, but nobody ever mentioned it in
the 6.22 documentation -- non-trivial, but not a factor on a floppy
system anyway).

Seems a reasonable subset. A few items I'd not bother with (SUBST
comes to mind) but all of them are fairly small programs.
Throw this vi on there and you're set:
VI.EXE 45,085
I'd like a copy of this as well. Not that I'm likely to use the
extra keymaps (old habits are hard to break, and I find myself
trying to use ctrl-B and ctrl-F to page around Netscape with
limited success). But I'm always willing to check out a new
incarnation of an old friend.
