Hi,

   Version 0.94-3 of my JED Emacs like editor is available via anonymous ftp
from amy.tch.harvard.edu in pub/jed.  You will also need to get the S-Lang
embedded C-like language interpreter library from pub/slang.  The latest
version of the editor works beautifully under Linux (arrow keys, pageup/down
etc... read linux.sl).

   JED is an extensible emacs-like editor.  I have had many positive comments
from Emacs and non-emacs users regarding JED.  If you can use Emacs, you will
fill right at home using JED.  Unlike Emacs, JED is small (I run it off a 360K
floppy on my XT.  On Linux, JED is about 168K and emacs is about 530K).  JED
is also quite powerful.  Its capabilities include:

    1.  Reads info files.  Even compressed ones provided.  The info reader is
        written in the extension language.
    2.  Region highlighting.
    3.  Full Undo.
    4.  Dired (directory editor)
    5.  Menu driven interface for new users.
    6.  C, Fortran, TeX, and Text modes.
    7.  EightBit clean (ISO-Latin 1 character set).  Upper/lowercase work.
    8.  ispell and ^Xm mail (works like Emacs)
    9.  EDT and wordstar emulation
    
   regular expressions and a lot more...

In addition, you will find the source code to a recursive highlighting grep in
the JED distribution.  The can recursively move through a directory tree
looking through files.  It is almost always faster than `grep' and will
often beat egrep.  It is certainly alot better than `find . -exec grep...'
   
Enjoy.
