I feel your pain. There is a solution.

Well, ''classic`` vi? It's vim that has color syntax highlighting.
Install the vim and vim-rt package, then try vi -V something.c
You will see all the syntax files be sourced for color, and then
do a :set or :set all, and see what types of indent options and
format options are set automatically.
