Hi,
I made a port and package out of nedit-4.0.1, a very good X11/Motif-based
editor. We've been using an earlier version of it at work for over a year
and it is favored over HP VUEs editor, vedit. Please try it out!
I provided a version, statically linked with the Motif libraries, so you
will not need Motif to use it.
Files on ftp.cdrom.com:/pub/FreeBSD/incoming:
nedit-4.0.1-notes.tar.gz - notes and document for nedit
nedit-4.0.1-port.tar.gz - nedit-4.0.1 port
nedit-4.0.1.tgz - pkg_add format

NEDIT 4.0.1
NEdit is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) style text editor for programs and
plain-text files. Users of Macintosh and MS Windows based text editors will
find NEdit a familiar and comfortable environment. NEdit provides all of the
standard menu, dialog, editing, and mouse support, as well as all of the
standard shortcuts to which the users of modern GUI based environments are
accustomed. For users of older style Unix editors, welcome to the world of
mouse-based editing!
NEdit is free, available in source and binary form for Silicon Graphics, HP,
DEC, IBM, Sun, and Linux systems, as well as for VAX and Alpha VMS. Executables
for non-supported systems are also available. Porting to other Motif platforms
has generally been easy.
