README file for JED.
JED is distributed in two forms:
jedXXX.tar.gz:
Contains the complete source to the editor. It does not
contain the slang library source. The library is available
from ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/slang.
Building JED requires the use of a C compiler which understands
function prototypes. I have sucessfully built JED with `cc' on
the ULTRIX, VMS, and IRIX operating systems. In addition, I
have created it using `gcc' under SunOS and Linux. See
src/mkfiles/README for building it under DOS, OS/2, and
Windows systems.
jedXXX.zip:
Contains no source code but it does include pre-compiled
executables for MSDOS and Windows systems. The executable is in
the bin directory and will work only on 386+ PCs with a DPMI
server, such as provided by Windows (See INSTALL.pc for
information regarding the server). The executables were
created using gcc for win32 and MSDOS (specifically, MINGW32
and DJGPP).
For installation instructions on
Unix:
read INSTALL.unx
VMS:
read INSTALL.vms
DOS, OS/2, Win9X, NT:
read INSTALL.pc
Then, read INSTALL for more installation tips. For changes and new
features, read changes.txt.
Addition information about JED is available from
<http://www.jedsoft.org/jed/> The documentation for the
slang library and interpreter is available from <http://www.s-lang.org>
and <http://www.jedsoft.org/slang/>. Useful newsgroups include
comp.editors and alt.lang.s-lang. A mailing list is also available.
See <http://www.jedsoft.org/jed/mailinglists.html> for more information
about it.
