- Basically e is a little thingamy to let you get into vi with more ease.
- I find it useful - even given a shell with history. It keeps a short history
- of the files that have been e'ed most recently in each directory. Thus it is
- nice to be able to do
-
- cd somewhere
- e
-
- and get straight into the file you were last working on in the directory
- "somewhere". It also allows quick cross-directory editing and trys to help
- out with spelling.
-
-
- There is some documentation and examples in the file edoc.
-
- Before making you should change the
- #define VI "/usr/ucb/vi"
- line in e.h if your vi is located elsewhere.
- and the DEST line in Makefile.
-
- This will run just fine on BSD4.[23].
- It appears to work on a SUN as well, just #define SUN in e.h
-
- Other versions will have little trouble. The readdir/opendir stuff of BSD is
- used for spelling corrections and cross-directory e'ing. I modified e.h to work
- on unix v8 in about 15 minutes. I think all that was required was to
- #include <ndir.h> instead of dir.h and to change the modes on the read() calls.
-
- This appears free of major bugs (famous last words) - I'd really like to hear
- about anything that goes wrong and/or fixes/enhancements. Comments on what is
- wrong and how it could be better/faster are also welcome...
