From 5f8de423f190bbb79a62f804151bc24824fa32d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Matt A.

Line editing (and js.c) is not a supported feature +of the javascript library, so your mileage my vary. + +The editline API is a compatible subset of the FSF readline API; if +you have readline installed and would like to link to that instead, +define JS_READLINE. Note that the readline library is distributed +under the GPL, so any resulting binaries are not legally +distributable. + +The editline files used here have been modified to work with the js +build system and to quiet some compiler warnings, and also to remove +filename-completion support. + +If anyone knows of a more recent version of these files, or a site on +which they are being maintained, please let me know! + +Mike McCabe, mccabe@netscape.com + + +The original README file distributed with the editline library follows. + + + +This is a line-editing library. It can be linked into almost any +program to provide command-line editing and recall. + +It is call-compatible with the FSF readline library, but it is a +fraction of the size (and offers fewer features). It does not use +standard I/O. It is distributed under a "C News-like" copyright. + +Configuration is done in the Makefile. Type "make testit" to get +a small slow shell for testing. + +An earlier version was distributed with Byron's rc. Principal +changes over that version include: + Faster. + Is eight-bit clean (thanks to brendan@cs.widener.edu) + Written in K&R C, but ANSI compliant (gcc all warnings) + Propagates EOF properly; rc trip test now passes + Doesn't need or use or provide memmove. + More robust + Calling sequence changed to be compatible with readline. + Test program, new manpage, better configuration + More system-independent; includes Unix and OS-9 support. + +This contains some changes since the posting to comp.sources.misc: + Bugfix for completion on absolute pathnames. + Better handling of M-n versus showing raw 8bit chars. + Better signal handling. + Now supports termios/termio/sgttyb ioctl's. + Add M-m command to toggle how 8bit data is displayed. + +There is one known bug: + History-searching redraws the line wrong if the text + retrieved is shorter then the prompt. + +Enjoy, + Rich $alz + + + Copyright 1992,1993 Simmule Turner and Rich Salz.
