- I can't seem to find any information on JED or where an archive site is
- for it. I have tried archie and the comp.editors FAQ doesn't mention
- it, can anyone please help me? If you haven't heard of it, it's the
- editor that is now used for Linux. They apparently replaced JOE with
- JED????
-
- What I'm really looking for is a GOOD small version of emacs for unix.
- I have tried Microemacs 3.11 but it seems to have a few funny quirks
- under unix, although it's not bad.

- JED is an Emacs inspired extensible editor which runs under VMS, UNIX, and
- MSDOS. The latest version is 0.70 though 0.80 will be out soon. It has an
- EDT mode which I have been told is excellent. Version 0.70 is available from
- amy.tch.harvard.edu in the pub/jed directory. SunOS, Ultrix, and VMS
- executables are in the directory as well. A binary for MSDOS is included in
- the jed070.zip. If you pick up the executables, you will still need to get
- one of the standard distributions.
-
- If you want a good small version of emacs for unix, then take a look at JED.
- I wrote it because of this reason and of the quirks of MicroEmacs, e.g.,
- unable to rebind the ^U key.
