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 colon mode. This is version 1.8pl4 with a kanji patch to display & Edit Japanese. It understands JIS/EUC/Shift-JIS. It display Kanji character with JIS code by default: if you want to display with EUC/Shift-JIS, add "-kdeuc" /"-ksjis" to the command line option. Also at startup time, jelvis read `.elvisrc', not `.exrc'. If you use `.exrc', change config.h and recompile.
