The original source tarball for Evis version 2.2_0, unmodified, is in Files.
README.txt gives tips for compiling on modern compilers (gcc-4.4.5 / linux) and using Xcode for Apple Sierra OS.
Elvis is a vi(1) (visual ed) vi editor clone (vim is another clone). "vi" is short for "visual ed(1)" (the 1 means see manpage for ed in section 1 of unix manual pages). vi as a visual editor means typical keyboard editing with ed(1) accessible to do complex editing jobs that developers often require (emacs is a heavyweight better than vi, but harder to use).
Features
- stable vi editor
- builds on linux, BSD, and Apple Sierra OS, more
- X11 and gnome editor when these are installed
- color syntax
- html version (2) support
- binary editor
- vi extends ed(1) line editor to a full page visual terminal (text) editor
- ed(1) is a power UNIX/BSD (line/document) editor automaton featuring: regex pattern matching, command substitution, aliasing, cursor positioning, and more
- elvis improves upon vi by fixing "early bsd" short-comings and adding features like html editing
