- ok, here it is... :-)
-
- elvis 1.6 for the atari is now on ftp.uni-paderborn.de [131.234.2.32]
- in atari/MiNT/mgnustuff and on wowbagger.pc-labor.uni-bremen.de
- [134.102.228.9] in incoming/atari/mint (should move to
- pub/atari_st/mint). filename is elv16beta.zoo.
-
- note this is *not* an official release, so don't blame steve if
- something goes wrong. but i am intrested in your comments of course...
- (i use it now for about 3 months and apart from one rare redraw problem
- that was also in earlier versions i have fixed only 1 bug since then.
- so it is quite stable...)
-
- here comes the readme...

-
- [^^^^ so you can easily reply]
-
- due to popular demand :-) and because its still some time until this will
- appear in an official release: here is the current state of elvis on
- MiNT/TOS. features:
-
- 0. this is an *inofficial* version. even the original 1.6 src it is
- based on you won't see posted somewhere... next will probably be elvis
- 1.7 appearing in comp.sources.reviewed. (but still without this MiNT
- stuff built in.) so if you find problems and bugs don't bother steve
- with it (yet), they're probably mine anyway. :-)
-
- 1. runs fine on both MiNT and TOS, but needs MiNT libraries to compile
- (and also probably gcc). i have left the #if TOS stuff in (my patches
- use #if MINT) but you should use that only as a last resort. (the MiNT
- version runs better even under TOS.)
-
- 2. behaves itself under MiNT. that includes stuff like not busy-wait on
- the terminal, use pipes instead of tempfiles etc... (looks at the __mint
- variable)
-
- 3. and of course shell escapes etc work like you would expect of a vi.
- :r !ls -l ... !Gtr -d '\015' (but see 6. :-)
-
- 4. uses -ltermcap. (that one was easy...)
-
- 5. uses the `special key' mapping of the messdos version (see docs)
- and also maps the shifted cursor/insrt/home keys wich would otherwise
- give digits. some of the keys can also be defined in the termcap entry,
- if that is found a default mapping for the others is used.
-
- 6. new options: crlf (read/write \r\n, can be changed anytime) and
- stbios (screen io thru BIOS, default on TOS, off with MiNT).
-
- 7...and varios fixes and other thigs i have forgot.
-
- here is the termcap entry i use on the console...
