1Elvis is a clone of vi/ex, the standard UNIX editor. Elvis supports 2nearly all of the vi/ex commands, in both visual mode and colon mode. 3 4Elvis runs under BSD UNIX, AT&T SysV UNIX, SCO Xenix, Minix, MS-DOS 5(Turbo-C or MSC 5.1), Atari TOS, OS9/68000, Coherent, VMS, and AmigaDos. 6Ports to other operating systems are in progress; contact me before you 7start porting it to some other OS, because somebody else may have 8already done it for you. 9 10Elvis is freely redistributable, in either source form or executable 11form. There are no restrictions on how you may use it. 12 13The file "elvisman.txt" contains the manual for elvis. It is a plain 14ASCII file with nothing more exotic than a newline character. It is 15formatted for 66-line, 80-column pages. There may also be an archive of 16"*.ms" and "*.man" files, which contain the TROFF source text used to 17generate that manual. 18 19The file named "Makefile.mix" is used to compile elvis for all systems 20except VMS and possibly MS-DOS. You should copy "Makefile.mix" to 21"Makefile", and then edit "Makefile" to select the appropriate group of 22settings for your system. 23 24 25Author: Steve Kirkendall 26 14407 SW Teal Blvd. #C 27 Beaverton, OR 97005 28 29E-mail: kirkenda@cs.pdx.edu 30 31Phone: (503) 643-6980 32
