I fixed some bugs in Elvis 1.3 a couple of months ago, and sent the
stuff in to be posted (binaries only, because the sources, including my
fixes, are available in alt.sources).  I just got a message that it will
be coming out soon.

I have found another bug in Elvis, but I haven't fixed it yet.  :-(

If you are in input mode, and have autoindent turned on, and type the
following sequence of keys, your machine will hang:

	[RETURN] [CTRL-D] [ESC]

I'm not sure about the exact sequence of keys, but I remember it
involves backing up over auto-indenting, and then returning to command
mode with [ESC].  It might be the [BACKSPACE] key instead of [CTRL-D].

Thanks Steve for a great editor, and for everybody else, I'll probably
get around to fixing this bug at Christmas-time when I get a break from
classes.  If somebody else has fixed it, please let me know!  Thanks.
