Elvis

   <tool> A {vi} lookalike which supports nearly all of the vi/ex
   commands, in both visual mode and colon mode.

   Like vi/ex, elvis stores most of the text in a temporary file
   instead of RAM.  This allows it to edit files that are too
   large to fit in a single process' data space.

   Elvis runs under {BSD} UNIX, AT&T {SysV} UNIX, {MINIX},
   {MS-DOS}, {Atari TOS}, {Coherent}, {OS9}/68000, {VMS},
   {Windows 95} and {Windows NT}.

   Elvis is just as awful to use as vi, so someone will like it.

   Version 1.8pl14 (1995-09-04).
