Subject: ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of GNU readline 5.1 uploaded.

This is a port of GNU readline/history library 5.1 to MSDOS/DJGPP.


  The Readline library provides a set of functions for use by applications
  that allow users to edit command lines as they are typed in.  Both
  Emacs and vi editing modes are available.  The Readline library includes
  additional functions to maintain a list of previously-entered command
  lines, to recall and perhaps reedit those lines, and perform csh-like
  history expansion on previous commands.

  The history facilites are also placed into a separate library, the
  History library, as part of the build process.  The History library
  may be used without Readline in applications which desire its
  capabilities.


  DJGPP specific changes.
  =======================

  - All DJGPP specific changes are based on the patch required to port
    bash to DJGPP.
  - The distributed source package has been configured for stock djdev203.
    If you want to compile the sources using djdev204 you will need to recon-
    figure the packages deleting the file /djgpp/config.cache and running the
    command /djgpp/config.bat.

  As usual, my changes and the rest of the djgpp specific stuff is stored in
  the /djgpp subdir.


  The port has been configured and compiled on a Win98SE and MSDOS 6.22 system
  using stock djdev203. It has also been compiled and tested on WinXP using
  djdev204.  No mayor testing have been done because the GNU sources come
  without testsuite.

  For futher information about GNU readline please read the info docs and NEWS file.


  The port consists of the usual three packages that can be downloaded from
  ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2006-01-12):

  For the convenience of the WinXP users binaries compiled with djdev204
