Jade    3.2    Programmer's editor Amiga and Unix X11

A text editor primarily designed for programmers.  It is easily customized
through a Lisp-style extension language and can be tailored to the user's
own requirements.  Jade is designed to run under a graphical windowing
system, systems currently supported are the Commodore Amiga and the
X Window System version 11 (but only under Unix).  It is the successor
to the editor `Jed 2.10' which was released for the Amiga in early 1993.
The author has decided to rename it since there is already an editor
called 'Jed' available on Unix systems (there is no connection between
the two).  "Jade" is an anagram of "A Jed", if you want an acronym you
could use "Just Another Damn Editor".  Jade is compatible with GNU Emacs
in terms of keystrokes and command names to a certain extent but it is
not intended as a simple copy of Emacs.
