  Elvis
  
     <tool> 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.
