README - version 1.2
--------------------
BLURB.
======
Basically e is a command line preprocessor to get you into vi with 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 fast cross-directory editing and does obvious
spelling corrections.
DOCUMENTATION
=============
Documentation and examples can be found in the man page in e.1.
This is in troff -man format. e.cat contains the troffed output of e.1.
MAKING
======
Before making you should change the #define VI line in e.h depending on the
location of your vi. Also change the DESTDIR line in Makefile.
This will run just fine on BSD4.[23]. Also on Ultrix-32.
It appears to work on a SUN as well, just #define NFS in e.h
I am told it will also run on sysV, just #define sysV in e.h
THANKS
======
To Phil Oldiges and Simon Brown for the man page and the SysV portability
changes.
This appears free of major bugs (famous last words) - I'd 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...
