        !            16: When you edit a file with elvis, only about five kilobytes of the
        !            17: file are  stored in RAM;  the rest is  stored in a  file in /tmp.
        !            18: vviirreecc extracts the ``undo'' version from the file stored in /tmp.
        !            19: This is  most useful  when the system  (or elvis) crashes  in the

        !            23: There are two ways to use virec.  The first, and most common, way
        !            24: to  invoke virec  is to  give it  the name of  the file  you were
        !            25: editing; it finds the matching file in /tmp and writes the newest
        !            26: available version of the file over the existing version.  It then
        !            27: deletes the /tmp file.
        !            28: 
        !            29: The second way  is to use the `<' to  let virec read a particular
        !            30: /tmp file  via stdin.  Use this method when  you either have for-
        !            31: gotten which file you were  editing and want to see its contents,
        !            32: or when you wish to recover a file without losing either the /tmp
        !            33: file or the current version of the text file.
        !            34: 
        !            35: The -d option tells virec to  look for a temporary file in direc-
