This is a port of GNU ed 1.8 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

   GNU ed is a line-oriented text editor. It is used to create, display,
   modify and otherwise manipulate text files, both interactively and via
   shell scripts. A restricted version of ed, red, can only edit files in
   the current directory and cannot execute shell commands.


   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 bugsŽ.  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 1.8:

Ed now stops reading stdin when reaching real End Of File the first
time. (Before it needed to reach EOF twice).



   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 test suite 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 has been compiled using stock djdev203 (patchlevel 2) and 
consists
   of the usual three packages that can be downloaded from 
ftp.delorie.com and
   mirrors as (time stamp 2013-04-27):

   The binaries have been produced a second time using the stock version of
   djdev204 beta library.  This package is available at ftp.delorie.com and
   mirrors as (time stamp 2013-04-27):

   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.
