ELVIS

************************************************************** *** THIS IS THE ORIGINAL README FILE PROVIDED WITH ELVIS *** *** PSION USERS SHOULD ALSO READ THE README3A.TXT FILE *** ************************************************************** 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 5.10), Atari TOS, OS9/68000, Coherent, VMS, and AmigaDos. An OS/2 port is included here for the first time; it might need tweaking. 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. For brief instructions on how to compile and install Elvis, see the INSTALL file *Psion users should see the README.3A file instead). For more complete instructions, you should begin by reading the appropriate part of the "VERSIONS" section of the manual ("versions.doc"), and also the whole "CFLAGS" and "MAKEFILE" sections ("cflags.doc" and "makefile.doc").
