- This is GNU Emacs 'multi forms-mode', version 1.4 (patchlevel 0).
-
- This GNU Emacs major mode implements editing a structured file (i.e., a
- file with 'records' and 'fields' in it) using a form.
- It is fully documented in the source file 'forms.el' and in the
- now out of date texinfo file 'forms.ti'. (forms.ti was written for
- forms-mode version 1.2, and has not been brought up to date. More of
- it is correct than incorrect, so I (FR) include it with version 1.4.)
-
- This kit contains:
-
- README - this file
- MANIFEST - list of files (no longer included)
- forms.ti - texinfo file for forms-mode 1.2
- forms.el - the lisp source
- demo1 - simple demo using /etc/passwd
- one record/buffer at a time
- test.forms - advanced demo
- multiple records/buffer at a time
-
- Load the lisp source, and execute
-
- forms-find-file demo1
-
- to look at your password file in a unconventional (but read-only) way.
-
- find-file test.forms
-
- gives you something with multiple records to clobber,
- with data and multi-line fields.
