- 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, Atari TOS,
- OS9/68000, and Coherent. 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 documentation will reside in a subdirectory called "doc". On some systems,
- you may need to create this directory before you can extract the documentation.
- The "doc/*.man" files are UNIX-style man pages; they are meant to be processed
- by "nroff -man". The "doc/*.doc" files are all chapters of the manual. They
- have already been formatted, and they contain Epson-compatible escape sequences
- to control type styles. A program called "refont" is included for stripping
- these out, if necessary.
-
- The file named "Makefile.mix" is used for all systems except MS-DOS. You
- should copy "Makefile.mix" to "Makefile", and then edit "Makefile" to select
- the appropriate group of settings for your system.
