This is a port of GNU ed 0.4 to MSDOS/DJGPP.
DJGPP specific changes.
=======================
All the changes done to the original distribution are documented in the
diffs file and located together with all the files needed to configure
the package (config.bat, config.sed, config.site, etc.) in the /djgpp subdir.
The DJGPP specific functionality of this port is the same than the previous
port of GNU ed 0.2. This port does not support dos-style (backslash) file
names in the ed scripts because the backslash character is used as the
escape character by ed. This is well known from the old port too.
For DJGPP specific issues please read carefully the /djgpp/readme file,
especially the section `Known bugs. Please note that all test concerning
piping will fail. There is no way to solve this issue.
If you want to recompile the package, run the command:
make
Install the products running the command:
make install
There is no testsuite in this package so test the binary by using it.
As usual I have configured and produced the binaries using stock djdev203.
If you are a WinXP user you will have to reconfigure and recompile from scratch
running the commands:
make distclean
djgpp\config
make
make install
These command sequence will produce and install the binaries, info docs and
unformated man pages in the djgpp installation tree defined by /den/env/DJDIR
The port consists of the usual three packages that can be downloaded from
ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2007-02-03):
Ed 0.4 binary, info and man format documentation:
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/ed-04b.zip

For the convenience of the WinXP users the binaries has been produced
a second time using the djdev204 beta library. This package is available
at ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2007-02-03):

Send gzip specific bug reports to <bug-ed AT gnu DOT org>.
Send suggestions and bug reports concerning the DJGPP port
to comp.os.msdos.djgpp or <djgpp AT delorie DOT com>.
If you are not sure if the failure is really a ed failure
or a djgpp specific failure, report it here and *not* to
<bug-ed AT gnu DOT org>.
Enjoy.
