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.
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.
10 Elvis is freely redistributable, in either source form or executable
11 form. There are no restrictions on how you may use it.

16 "*.ms" and "*.man" files, which contain the TROFF source text used to
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.
