JERED (C) 1996, 1997 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
JERED : A new C/C++ and text files editor
Last update: September 7th 1997

1. JERED vs. JE:

When you read the documentation or sources of this program, 
don't be surprised if you see it's called either JERED or JE. 
Parts of the documentation may be out of date but the real name is 
JERED. 

In fact, the old name was JE which meant Jerome's Editor. 
However, Scott Stone <sstone@pht.com> has told me that there 
was a namespace conflict between this program and the Japanese 
Extensions for Linux, also known as JE. 

Since my program is more recent, I decided to change its name 
from JE to JERED, which means JErome's Renamed EDitor. 


2. Running the program:
        Before running it you must build it, just type
        
                ./configure
                make
                
        then type:
        
                ./jered
                
        and follow the instructions.
        or type:
                
                ./jered  file1  file2  ...  fileN
        
When editing a file, you can use Fkeys to do special actions,
according to what is written on the bottom line of the screen. 
When you will be more experienced, you will be able to remap 
each available action to each available key. By default, you can 
press ESC_h to get the help on current key mappings. This help 
file is automatically generated according to what you have 
mapped to the keyboard keys. You can assign text, macros or 
actions to any key you want (look at jeredrc to see what I
mean). 
        

3. The documentation:

        The French documentation was completely out of date, it is no
        more included in the package until it will be rewritten.

        The English documentation in ENGLISH.DOC is almost completely out of
        date. Some bugs or limitations mentionned in this file are now
        corrected. This file will disappear from the package when the new
        official documentation will be complete.

        The official and up-to-date documentation is now jered.sgml, written
        with the linuxdoc-sgml package. You can convert this file to other
        formats using the 'sgml2something' utilities. The documentation is
        included in the package in three formats: SGML source, GNU info,
        and HTML. This documentation is up-to-date according to the program
        but not complete, for now refer to ENGLISH.DOC for more info.
        
        A mailing list exists since October 1st 1998. To subscribe go to
        http://cortex.unice.fr/~jerome/jered/subscribe.html
        or send an email message which body contains: 
                SUB jered FirstName LastName
                END
        to: sympa@cortex.unice.fr        

        Unfortunately the mailing list robot's help is in French only for now, 
        so to subscribe you should prefer the web way.
        
        You can unsubscribe from this mailing list at any time going to this
        url:
        http://cortex.unice.fr/~jerome/jered/unsubscribe.html
        or by sending an email message which body contains:
                SIG jered
                END
        to: sympa@cortex.unice.fr        
        
        The preferred language for this list is English.

4. TO-DO list:

4.1     Add the autowordwrap mode.
        
4.2     Add the possibility to read many profile files during the
        initialisation.
        
        Add the possibility to read a profile during an editing
        session. 

4.3     Add e-mail facilities.
        
4.4     Add Slang support. Substantial work has been done on this
        subject by Antti K. Barck <proff@iki.fi>, but the macros don't
        work so it is not included for now.

4.5     Add colorization for other languages than C/C++. Bernhard
        Rosenkraenzer <bero@in-trier.de> is working on HTML colorization.

4.6     Include Joe L. Hartmann, Jr <joeh@sugar-river.net>'s english
        comments in the sources.

4.7     Increase portability, and try to compile it on other systems
        than GNU/Linux, or systems without ncurses (more difficult). This
        could be done almost enterely in rewriting the scrolling
        functions.

4.8     Rewrite the display functions to increase performance.
        
4.9     Allow the user to add colorization for a new language in
        almost 5 lines of code ! Just with the language's syntax plus
        some initialisation code. This should not be so difficult.

4.10    Allow the user to choose a (normal) blinking underline for the
        cursor, or to choose a full blinking block for the cursor.  The
        blinking block should be be much more visible, especially on
        LCD laptops.
        
4.11    Correct all remaining bugs. (Did you find any ???)

4.12    Add something to this TO-DO list !!!

4.13    Try to do all what is in the TO-DO list !!!
