- Command Name : Ed
-
- Function : Edit text files
-
- Arguments : <filename>
-
- Location : C directory
-
- Ed is used to edit ASCII text files. ASCII is the standard format for text.
- You can use Ed to create script files or just as a (very) simple tool for
- writing text. There are many PD and Shareware text editors available that
- are much better. For example, this text was written using EdWord by M.
- Reddy, which is Shareware and ASCII compatible. On the Extras2.0 disk there
- is a text editor called MEMACS. MEMACS is a good text editor but lacks a
- file requester and is quite complicated to use for a beginner.
