This archive contains the executables for Jed version 0.96, compiled
for Linux (jed) and Linux/XFree86 (xjed).  YOU MUST ALSO HAVE THE JED
SOURCE DISTRIBUTION (jed096.tar.gz) IN ORDER TO CORRECTLY INSTALL
THESE PROGRAMS!  You should install the executables in a directory on
your PATH such as /usr/local/bin.  Please read the install.* files in
the source distribution for further information.

These executables were compiled under Linux 0.99.15 (Slackware 1.1.2)
with gcc 2.5.8 and libc 4.5.19.  XJed was compiled for XFree86 2.0.
Jed 0.96 compiles cleanly under Linux (you can easily build them
yourself if you have gcc installed and like a feeling of
accomplishment).

Jed is an extensible text editor which has been ported to several
platforms including Un*x, Un*x with X, VAX/VMS, MS-DOS, and OS/2.
Features include relatively smaller size (compared with e.g. GNU
Emacs), interpreted extension language with C-like syntax, online
`info'-style documentation, color syntax highlighting, and much more.
Jed's author and current maintainer is John E. Davis
(davis@amy.tch.harvard.edu).
