Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2009 00:23:28 +0200 X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1106 X-Y-GMX-Trusted: 0 X-FuHaFi: 0.57 This is a port of GNU ed 1.3 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 bugsī. 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 1.3: The configure script now quotes arguments before storing them in config.status. 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 2009-06-07): Ed 1.3 binary, info and man format documentation: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/ed-13b.zip Ed 1.3 dvi, html, ps and pdf format documentation: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/ed-13d.zip Ed 1.3 source: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/ed-13s.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 2009-06-07): Ed 1.3 binary, info and man format documentation: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/ed-13b.zip Send ed specific bug reports to . Send suggestions and bug reports concerning the DJGPP port to comp.os.msdos.djgpp or . If you are not sure if the failure is really a ed failure or a djgpp specific failure, report it here and *not* to . Enjoy. Guerrero, Juan Manuel
