DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       eedd  is  a  text	editor.	This version is copyrighted, but
       freely available.  The assumption is that the only use for
       eedd  will	be  to support scripts which use it.  Therefore,
       this documentation is intentionally brief.  One hopes that
       this version of eedd is fully compatible with the "standard"
       version.

OOPPTTIIOONNSS
       --      Suppress explanatory output.  This option should be
	      used when the standard input is an editor script.

BBUUGGSS
       This  version  does  not	support  the  --xx option for file
       encryption, the xx command (traditionally for file  encryp-
       tion) does something else, and the uu command (undo) is not
       supported.

       25Aug92: (W.Metzenthen) Changed malloc() call to	calloc()
       in  makebitmap() to remove bugs under Linux. Changed a few
       '^' to the correct '~'.	General tidying. Recognize  Linux
       via  the __linux__ symbol.  Main change based upon sugges-
       tion by Wolfgang Thiel.
