A vi lookalike which supports nearly all of the vi/excommands, in both visual mode and colon mode.Like vi/ex, elvis stores most of the text in a temporary fileinstead of RAM. This allows it to edit files that are toolarge to fit in a single process' data space.Elvis runs under BSD UNIX, AT&T SysV UNIX, MINIX,MS-DOS, Atari TOS, Coherent, OS9/68000, VMS,Windows 95 and Windows NT.Elvis is just as awful to use as vi, so someone will like it.Version 1.8pl14 .FTP Delft (ftp://dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl/pub/Unix/Editors/),FTP PDX (ftp://ftp.cs.pdx.edu/pub/elvis/).E-mail: Steve Kirkendall .
