Elvis : A very powerful vi/ex clone providing a remarkable number of bells and whistles
In depth
A closer look at Elvis
Elvis is a clone of vi/ex, the standard UNIX editor. Elvis supports nearly all of the vi/ex commands, in both visual mode and ex mode. Elvis adds support for multiple files, on-line help, multiple windows, a variety of display modes, and other miscellaneo 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. Also, the edit buffer can survive a power failure or crash. While the first Elvis versions - like the original vi - were developed for Unix systems now ports to many other operating systems have spread.
