What is Elvis?
Elvis - written by Steve Kirkendall is a very powerful vi/ex clone providing a remarkable number of bells and whistles like:
While the first Elvis versions - like the original vi - were developed for Unix systems now ports to many other operating systems have spread. Here's a list of the different environments supported by Elvis and how it looks like:
The Unix (or DOS or Windows or OS/2) console is what most people expect from a vi/ex-like text editor. Elvis also provides an X11 interface for GUI lovers. It is available for Unix systems and OS/2. The OS/2 port is currently being maintained by Martin "Herbert" Dietze, however the VIO user interface and some of the other os specific code had been done by Lee Johnson. WinElvis? is a native Win32 GUI application with menu bar, smart icons etc. It is being maintained by Serge Pirotte. An Elvis port to the Macintosh is currently in progress. However I do not have any binaries available. The Mac port is being maintained by Alain Mellan.
