The main problem with that is security. Both VI and emacs have many
features, they can even run shell commands inside the editor. This
makes allowing thier use from inside a MUD a scary proposition at best.

to be fairly unrestrictive, gzip, otoh, would (afaik) be GPL so you may
want to look for another compression algorythm.
