- EDLINE RENAMED TO EDLIN
-
- EWING, NEW JERSEY, June 9, 2003 - Beginning with the new version 2.0, the
- edline program has been renamed to edlin.
-
- On Friday, June 6, 2003, Gregory Pietsch, the maintainer of FreeDOS edline,
- received an e-mail from Jon Abrams, the president of Edline, LLC. His e-mail
- address is <jabrams@edline.com>. Abrams requested that Pietsch modify the
- name of the text editor so that it is no longer identical to the word "edline"
- to avoid confusion.

- EDLINE PROGRAM INTERNATIONALIZATION
-
- EWING, NEW JERSEY, May 30, 2003 - Internationalization for the edline program
- is now a matter of translating strings in a header file.
-
- All the outputted strings and format strings for printf() and friends are in
- a file called msgs.h. All the translator has to do is translate the strings
- in that file into the language of choice. The msgs.h file has been copied to
- msgs-en.h, so that the English-language messages are saved.
-
- I still have to figure out how to copy a specific language file to msgs.h at
- compile time in the ./configure script, although this should be easy to do
- (crosses fingers here).
