The main reason JED's version number is below 1.0 is due to the lack of adequate documentation. I am slowly working on it. The file jed.tex will become the main jed documentation. If you build slang/doc/texconv, you can convert this file from LaTeX to a plain text format or to a VMS style format. Please read jed_faq.txt if you have any questions regarding JED. The majority of questions I receive are already answered here. Even if you have already read these documents from a previous JED version, it is a good idea to re-read them because they do change (improve) from release to release. In this directory, you will find the following supplemental documents: jed.tex : jed documentation (LaTeX file-- see above comment) color.txt : how to set up JED using a color terminal (e.g., MS-Kermit) syntax.txt : Describes syntax highlighting program.txt : S-Lang programming tips (efficiency and speed) edt.txt : EDT editor emulation script.txt : How to use JED in batch mode xjed.doc : Notes pertaining to XWindows version of JED rmail.txt : How to set up JED's rmail mode for mail reading wordstar.txt : Wordstar mode documentation pc-keys.txt : list of keycodes for PC systems rgrep.doc : document for recursive grep program (rgrep)
