| $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, |
