Some time ago I obtained from some anonymous ftp site in Finland
an executable MS-DOS version of elvis, I believe of version 1.3.
(1) Is there a later version on line anywhere, preferably in
the US? Why isn't this on Simtel?
(2) The version I have has a bug which makes it fail when I try
:1,$s/\\/\//g
which works quite well in ordinary vi.
Thanks.

Why isn't this on Simtel? ELvis 1.4 was issued in alt.sources last year. Somewhere, in Sep 90, on Internet, I found a list of FTP SITES. (Please jog my memory!) You could peruse that for alt.sources. To (hopefully) save you some trouble: 1. In the USA, alt.sources (at my last notice) was archived at schizo.samsung.com ( 134.228.1.2 ). 2. Also, alt.archives was at polaris.llnl.gov ( 128.115.14.19 ). Alternatively, you might nag some poor amenable soul like me to email Elvis 1.4 source to you.

Many people have replied to my request for an MS-DOS executable of elvis 1.4 with information about the SOURCES for this editor. I have had a copy of the source for elvis 1.4 since mid December. I do not have a compiler which can compile it for a 286. For this reason I am trying to get an EXECUTABLE BINARY. Yours, A. V. Le Blanc ZLSIIAL@uk.ac.mcc.cms
