    Dennis, there will be a man page in pdf format in the manuals sub-directory. The full manuals for last year's version are over on the other group page.

    Anything I can help with let me know. :-)

    Ok. We have a Linux version.

    It is a .deb package which will install to Debian based Linux, including Ubuntu which is what I
    have developed it on.

    I found the biggest problem is the dire lack of real terminal features on Linux Terminal apps.
    If your linux terminal app does not support blink, do the .curwin.conf blink_bold work around.

    If anyone finds that the keypad is returning escape sequences rather then digits, let me know.
    I tested about 5 apps and none would support the keypad. Gnome terminal was best for fonts and did support dim, bold and italics (but not blink).

    Again this editor is a super set of Primos ED. By default it is a line editor. If you don't want a screen editor, it won't do that.

    The run file is 'ned' but if you want super ed compatibility, start it as 'ed'.
    There is a hard link in the bin directory for this.
    Instructions included on this.

    I have found where gcc was not flagging some errors on the Linux version.

    The directory read and file-type functions were not working.
    So the ls/dir macro was not working.
    I have renamed ls.ned as dir.ned also.

    Recompiled Linux and Mac version which are now on the web page as 151025.

    Hi everyone,

    I would still love to have some more beta testers have a go at Open/ed.

    Even if you just install it, and report on that, it would help me.
