e Modification History.
=======================
Version 1.1 changes October 1987.
==========================================
- Added "VIPATH" environment variable.
- Fixed bug with argument lists that exceeded ARG_CHARS chars in multiple().
- Added #ifdef statements to enable compilation on a SUN.
- Put #defines etc into e.h as they were getting in the way.
Version 1.2 changes December 1987.
===========================================
- Made the numbering on "e -" the same as for "e .".
- System V port (thanks to Simon Brown).
- Added man page (thanks to Phil Oldiges).
- Fixed handling of the VIPATH variable so that it doesn't screw up
when there is more than one delimiter. Added new delimiters.
- Cleaned up terminal handling to use ioctl().
- Cleaned up error handling.
- Fixed (for sure this time) the bug with long argument lists.
- Made returns consistent in check().
- Flagged suspected unsatisfied symbolic link in check().
- Added #define called E_PATH which contains the name of the environment
variable containing the PATH for cross directory stuff. (set to "VIPATH").
- Added E_MODE #define for the protection mode for .e (set to 0644).
- Fixed spelling correction to offer all likely targets in a directory, not
just the first encountered. Added 'N' option to say "I meant what I said,
don't give me more possible corrections."
- Comments!
To be added?
============
- Allow backspacing on a select line.
- Make .exrc files be inherited when e'ing across directories.
- Spelling corrections across directories.
- Plenty of fancy things.
- Keep a single .e file in $HOME and then it's easy to use the history in
unwriteable directories etc. do this nicely with hashing/binary search etc.
