| $Revision: 1.5 $ | |
| This is a line-editing library. It can be linked into almost any | |
| program to provide command-line editing and recall. | |
| It is call-compatible with the FSF readline library, but it is a | |
| fraction of the size (and offers fewer features). It does not use | |
| standard I/O. It is distributed under a "C News-like" copyright. | |
| Configuration is done in the Makefile. Type "make testit" to get | |
| a small slow shell for testing. | |
| An earlier version was distributed with Byron's rc. Principal | |
| changes over that version include: | |
| Faster. | |
| Is eight-bit clean (thanks to brendan@cs.widener.edu) | |
| Written in K&R C, but ANSI compliant (gcc all warnings) | |
| Propagates EOF properly; rc trip test now passes | |
| Doesn't need or use or provide memmove. | |
| More robust | |
| Calling sequence changed to be compatible with readline. | |
| Test program, new manpage, better configuration | |
| More system-independant; includes Unix and OS-9 support. | |
| Enjoy, | |
