[comp.editors] elvis for dos

edge@unislc.uucp (Brian Edginton) (05/09/91)

I just downloaded elvis34 to my dos system.  It came
with no documentation.  When I envoke elvis, vi, view,
etc. it fails with error=2 and complains about not
being able to open a temporary file.  Any ideas?  Any
pointers to the source and/or documentation would also
be helpful.

Thanks,

  edge

Hi folks, does anyone know where to get a copy of elvis (binary 
preferable) for DOS ? 

Thanks in advance.
