- $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.
-
