I'm using 1.6...  (I got it from wuarchive.wustl.edu in mirrors/msdos/editors
- yes, the VMS and Unix makefiles are in the DOS source zip)....
  I've only found one problem, and that's that Elvis refuses to maintain
file permissions...  Every time I change a file, it always gets written with
S:RWD,O:RWD,G:NONE,W:NONE, which is really irritating if I'm editing a file
that other people use in my account...
