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. | |
12 | ||
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. | |
