This is a port of GNU ed 0.9 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.  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$-3õ½.  Please note that all test concerning
  piping will fail.  There is no way to solve this issue.


  User visible changes (from NEWS):

Changes in version 0.9:

Return 0 exit status after receiving SIGHUP if the file is not modified
or is saved without error.

Arg_parser has been updated to 1.1.



  If you want to recompile the package, run the command:
    make
  Install the products running the command:
    make install
  There is should be noticed that the testsuite in this package does not work.
  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 2008-02-25):

    Ed 0.9 binary, info and man format documentation:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/ed-08b.zip

    Ed 0.9 dvi, html, ps and pdf format documentation:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/ed-09d.zip

    Ed 0.9 source:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/ed-09s.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 2008-02-25):

    Ed 0.9 binary, info and man format documentation:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/ed-09b.zip



  Send ed 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.
