elvis-console 2.2.0-11.1 (i386 binary) in ubuntu quantal

 This package contains Elvis compiled without X11 support. If you want
 to use Elvis' X11 interface then install the package elvis instead.
 See also: elvis-tools
 .
 Elvis is a clone of vi/ex, the standard UNIX editor. It supports
 nearly all of the vi/ex commands, in both visual mode and ex mode.
 Elvis adds support for multiple files, multiple windows, a variety of
 display modes (including syntax highlighting, man, tex, html and
 hex), an optional X11 user interface (see elvis-x11), on-line help,
 folding, spell checking, new options, auto commands, regions, enhanced
 tags, printing, aliases and an improved :map command.
 .
 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.
 Also, the edit buffer can survive a power failure or crash.
