THE is a full-screen character mode text editor based on the VM/CMS editor
XEDIT and some features of KEDIT for DOS written by Mansfield Software.
THE has currently been ported to SUNOS 4.1.1, Xenix-386, DOS (using both
Borland C++ 2.0 and Microsoft C v6.00) Esix 4.0.3a and ATT SystemV 3.2,
and to OS/2 2.0 (using Microsoft C v6.00).
An attempt has been made to port THE to VAX/VMS. Some major work is still
required.
The SUNOS port has options for the BSD, System V and gcc compilers.
The DOS and OS/2 port requires the use of PDCURSES 2.0; a public domain
library of curses screen handling routines, of which I am the current
maintainer. Included is a DOS executable make suitable for the supplied
makefile.
THE OS/2 port is similar to EPM, runs within an OS/2 command window and is
HPFS aware.
THE uses curses as its screen handler. This makes it portable but not the
best for fast screen refreshes.
To get detailed descriptions of each command;
make manual
This will create a file called the.man.
If you find bugs or major inconsistencies, please let me know. If you
manage to compile and run on a different platform to the above, please
send me any changes to the code and the makefile, so I can include the
platform in the official release.
THE is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
For more details see the file COPYING that should have accompanied this.
THE is available via anonymous ftp from
accord.dciem.dnd.ca (192.16.207.25)
in /pub/curses/the

********************* Note to Users of Borland C++ 2.0 *****************
There is a bug in the stat() function that returns an error if you call
stat() with the root directory. This causes any sos_edit of a directory
that will resolve to the root directory to think it is a new file.
The bug in stat() has been fixed in release 3.0.
