Elvis is a clone of vi/ex, the standard UNIX editor. Elvis supports
|
|
nearly all of the vi/ex commands, in both visual mode and colon mode.
|
|
|
|
Elvis runs under BSD UNIX, AT&T SysV UNIX, SCO Xenix, Minix, MS-DOS
|
|
(Turbo-C or MSC 5.1), Atari TOS, OS9/68000, Coherent, VMS, and AmigaDos.
|
|
Ports to other operating systems are in progress; contact me before you
|
|
start porting it to some other OS, because somebody else may have
|
|
already done it for you.
|
|
|
|
Elvis is freely redistributable, in either source form or executable
|
|
form. There are no restrictions on how you may use it.
|
|
|
|
The file "elvisman.txt" contains the manual for elvis. It is a plain
|
|
ASCII file with nothing more exotic than a newline character. It is
|
|
formatted for 66-line, 80-column pages. There may also be an archive of
|
|
"*.ms" and "*.man" files, which contain the TROFF source text used to
|
|
generate that manual.
|
|
|
|
The file named "Makefile.mix" is used to compile elvis for all systems
|
|
except VMS and possibly MS-DOS. You should copy "Makefile.mix" to
|
|
"Makefile", and then edit "Makefile" to select the appropriate group of
|
|
settings for your system.
