I'm presently looking for a good vi clone, with all the features
of vi... or a pretty extensive subset.
I've tried z, and stevie(3.7a), which don't cut it. Most advanced
options aren't implemented, or don't work the way they should.

I got a binary of elvis, which is much better, from ab20.larc.nasa.gov.
Unfortunately, I don't know where it came from.

Every info I've got is:
ELVIS 1.3, by Steve Kirkendall (freely redistributable).

There are still some problems, most notably no filter, and crashes on >256k 
files.

So I would like any information on how to contact Steve Kirkendall/where
to get elvis recent versions/source code.  Please email, don't post.
Email also if you're interested too. I will email back (or post if enough 
are interested) whatever I get.
