Elvis Elvis 2.0 is a clone of the vi/ex, the standard Unix editor. Elvis 2.0 adds the following features (beyond mere emulation of vi/ex)... Multiple edit buffers, so you can edit several files at the same time. Multiple windows, so those edit buffers can share screen space. Multiple display modes, including... "normal" which looks like the traditional vi screen "hex" which is good for viewing binary files "syntax" which supports syntax coloring (configurable) "man" which formats Unix man-pages like nroff "html" which formats Web pages Online hypertextual help A variety of user interfaces, including... "termcap" which uses text screens like the traditional vi "x11" which provides a GUI interface for Unix/X-windows users Compiling: elvis can parse error messages, and move to source of error WYSIWYG printing, with drivers for most printer types Built-in calculator with a C-like syntax Extreme customizability
