  Elvis
       
           A {vi} lookalike which supports nearly all of the vi/ex
          commands, in both visual mode and colon mode.
       
          Like vi/ex, elvis stores most of the text in a temporary file
          instead of RAM.  This allows it to edit files that are too
          large to fit in a single process' data space.
       
          Elvis runs under {BSD} UNIX, AT&T {SysV} UNIX, {MINIX},
          {MS-DOS}, {Atari TOS}, {Coherent}, {OS9}/68000, {VMS},
          {Windows 95} and {Windows NT}.
       
          Elvis is just as awful to use as vi, so someone will like it.
