| 1 | Elvis is a clone of vi/ex, the standard UNIX editor. Elvis supports
|
|---|
| 2 | nearly all of the vi/ex commands, in both visual mode and colon mode.
|
|---|
| 3 |
|
|---|
| 4 | Elvis 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.
|
|---|
| 6 | Ports to other operating systems are in progress; contact me before you
|
|---|
| 7 | start porting it to some other OS, because somebody else may have
|
|---|
| 8 | already done it for you.
|
|---|
| 9 |
|
|---|
| 10 | Elvis is freely redistributable, in either source form or executable
|
|---|
| 11 | form. There are no restrictions on how you may use it.

|
|---|
| 13 | The file "elvisman.txt" contains the manual for elvis. It is a plain
|
|---|
| 14 | ASCII file with nothing more exotic than a newline character. It is
|
|---|
| 15 | formatted 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
|
|---|
| 17 | generate that manual.
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | The file named "Makefile.mix" is used to compile elvis for all systems
|
|---|
| 20 | except VMS and possibly MS-DOS. You should copy "Makefile.mix" to
|
|---|
| 21 | "Makefile", and then edit "Makefile" to select the appropriate group of
|
|---|
| 22 | settings for your system.
