Well, you chose the bitter pill today ...
Was that the red one or blue? ;-)
This reply will add to your useless niche info. :-)
Or, it may add to Tomas' collection of editors. ;-)

For DOS, I mostly just use MS-DOS EDIT, but also use a VI clone called
Elvis.  The VI.EXE calls ELVIS.EXE.  It seems to have correct EX and ED
command support.  Apparently, I have an older version, i.e., 1.8 (Jan
29, 1994) for DOS.  This was as ELV18EXE.ZIP.

ELV18EXE.ZIP is here on a Garbo mirror.
