- The third release of the editor mined (August 1993) is now available.
- It runs on many Unix systems, MSDOS, and VMS.
-
- To compile mined on unix, try make with the given makefile. Depending on
- your system, you may have to change the screen handling method by selecting
- SCREEN = -DSGTTY instead of SCREEN = -DTERMIO in Makefile. Only if both do not
- work, you should try the curses variant. This is the last choice for two reasons:
- curses screen output seems to be clumsier than direct terminal control,
- and many unix curses implementations still dare to obstruct the use of
- 8-bit character sets. The curses option was only built in for a quick
- port to VMS where it is automatically selected.
- On some systems, you may have to define the sysV variable (see makefile).
- Optimization can be turned on or off in makefile for generation/development.
-
- On VMS, just compile the source files and link them with an extra library
- using the script linkmined.com.
-
- On MSDOS, you may have the files in their unix form, i.e. with linefeed
- only newlines, so you will have to change the newlines of all text files
- (except mined.hlp which is already dedicated) to MSDOS compatible ones.
- You can use the executable, mined.exe, to perform this task. You can also
- refrain from compiling mined and just use the executable.
- Configuration files for Turbo-C are included.
- The COMPACT "memory model" should be used to avoid a poor file size restriction.
