-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
After working with Origami as user and developer for many years, I
started writing a successor. This is version 0.2 of fe, a new folding
editor. In contrary to fe 0.1, this version is stable enough for daily
use.
The current release has the following features:
o Of course folding!
o regions and Emacs-like kill ring
o Incremental search
o Keyboard macros
o allows editing binary files
o menues for the most important functions
o fe is a very small editor
o reference manual in troff -mm, PostScript, ASCII and HTML
The following things were changed compared to version 0.1:
o Various bug fixes.
o On systems without vfork(), fork() will be used.
o Incremental search works together with the search history.
o Funtions to delete words and go to matching paren/brace/bracket.
o Ported to HP-UX
o Sub shell command added
o Overwrite mode added
o Display code prepared for multiple windows
o Loading files is faster
o Auto-indent mode added
o Set language added
o Origami-style marks at the beginning and end of files
o Reference manual also available in HTML
fe should work on any system which supports the following:
o POSIX
o ANSI C
o SYSV curses library (ncurses is a free clone)
The fe distribution is available from:
ftp://cantor.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/unix/fe-0.2.tz
