Readme file for JED.
This distribution of JED includes the JED editor src, The MSDOS and
OS/2 distributions include the executables in the `bin' subdirectory.
[The S-Lang library is nolonger included in the distribution. If you do
not have it, or have a version that is too old, you will need to get it.
It is available from space.mit.edu in pub/davis/slang.]
Note that with the exception of the src subdirectory, this directory tree
must remain intact. JED uses lib to access S-Lang library files, info to
access info files, and bin to execute miscellaneous programs during run time.
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. I do not know whether it will compile under Microsoft C--- I have
only used Borland's Turbo C and BCC 3.0.
Finally, JED is available for 386/486 PCs with virtual memory support (upto
256Meg). This has been made possible by using DJGPP (DJ Delorie's GCC port
and GO32 DOS extender). The sources and binaries for the extender are
available via anonymous ftp from omnigate.clarkson.edu in pub/msdos/djgpp.
With the above in mind:
UNIX: read install.unx
VMS: read install.vms
IBMPC: read install.pc
Then, read INSTALL for more installation tips. For changes and new
features, read changes.txt.
