README file for JED.

 JED is distributed in two forms:
 
     jedXXX.tar.gz: 
       Contains the complete source to the editor.  It does not
       contain the slang library source.  The library is available
       from ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/slang.

       Building JED requires the use of a C compiler which understands
       function prototypes.  I have sucessfully built JED with `cc' on
       the ULTRIX, VMS, and IRIX operating systems.  In addition, I
       have created it using `gcc' under SunOS and Linux.  See
       src/mkfiles/README for building it under DOS, OS/2, and
       Windows systems.

     jedXXX.zip:
       Contains no source code but it does include a pre-compiled
       executable for MSDOS and Windows systems.  The executable is in
       the bin directory and will work only on 386+ PCs with a DPMI
       server, such as provided by Windows (See INSTALL.pc for
       information regarding the server).  The executable was created
       using using the freely available, high quality, DJGPP compiler
       (see http://www.delorie.com/).

 For installtion instructions on

      Unix:
        read INSTALL.unx

      VMS: 
        read INSTALL.vms

      DOS, OS/2, Windows:
        read INSTALL.pc

 Then, read INSTALL for more installation tips. For changes and new
 features, read changes.txt.

 Addition information about JED is available from
 http://space.mit.edu/%7Edavis/jed.html.  The documentation for the
 slang library and interpreter is available from
 http://space.mit.edu/%7Edavis/slang.html.  Useful newsgroups include
 comp.editors and alt.lang.s-lang.  A mailing list is available: send
 email to jed-users-request@riemann.iam.uni-bonn.de for additional
 information.
