.SH BUGS
.PP
\fIelvrec\fP is very picky about filenames.
\fIelvisrecover\fP is very picky about filenames.
You must tell it to recover the file using exactly the same pathname as
when you were editing it.
The simplest way to do this is to go into the same directory that you were
editing, and invoke \fIelvrec\fP with the same filename as \fIelvis\fP.
If that doesn't work, then try running \fIelvrec\fP with no arguments,
editing, and invoke \fIelvisrecover\fP with the same filename as \fIelvis\fP.
If that doesn't work, then try running \fIelvisrecover\fP with no arguments,
to see exactly which pathname it is using for the desired file.
.PP
Due to the permissions on the /usr/preserve directory, on UNIX systems
\fIelvrec\fP must be run as superuser.
This is accomplished by making the \fIelvrec\fP executable be owned by "root"
Due to the permissions on the /var/preserve directory, on UNIX systems
\fIelvisrecover\fP must be run as superuser.
This is accomplished by making the \fIelvisrecover\fP executable be owned by "root"
and setting its "set user id" bit.
.PP
If you're editing a nameless buffer when \fIelvis\fP dies, then \fIelvrec\fP
If you're editing a nameless buffer when \fIelvis\fP dies, then \fIelvisrecover\fP
will pretend that the file was named "foo".
