[comp.editors] NeWS version of elvis

mh@roger.imsd.contel.com (Mike H.) (01/11/91)

The following postings in comp.windows.news are modifications I made to
version 1.4 of elvis to run under the NeWS toolkit (tNt).  If you are
not familiar with elvis it is a vi clone written by Steve Kirkendall
it's much better than stevie and the various wimply emacs vi emulators
so I suggest giving it a shot if you are a vi fan.

Although I intend to make some more additions to the elvis I am at the
point now where I'm going to stop for a bit until I get the new version
of tNt. As a result I figured I'd post what I've got at the moment
since this newsgroup has been extremely dead lately.

What exists now works well but does'nt have much in the way of neat
'window' things in it yet. I does however have some fixes for the more
annoying things present in the stock 1.4 version fixed. See the change
notes file in the following postings for more info on that subject.

I did not include the doc directory normally found in the elvis
release. you can get that from the stock version of elvis 1.4 which can
be had in the gnu ftp directory on prep.ai.mit.edu. Elvis 1.4 was also
posted to alt.sources awhile back by the author so if you know where an
alt.sources archive is you can get the docs there also.

p.s. - 

If anybody adds any neat things let me know. I'd love to have them.
Also, Josh Siegel at sun was kind enough to make mods to this version
of elvis to work under the new version of tNt. If there is a demand for
those mods i'll post those too.
