I have forwarded this question to the person who asked me to add this, but got no clear response yet. As far as I can tell, it's a reasonable attempt at a POSIX/BSD-compatible ed. It lacks some of our more exotic features (such as -x), but seems pretty compatible. And then of course they slapped an info page and a GPLv3 licence on it. Actually, I don't really see the benifit of this port. But there was a request for it and it seemed like little effort to maintain it ;) Ciao, Johan --2fHTh5uZTiUOsy+g Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iF4EAREIAAYFAk8EGpcACgkQAEpMHW8nCPToUQEAlYBF/us06mZPL7GfOuBKOh7i F5ZkBB49ArK+sw3ZHbcBAKnLiMUnS3hlJYzO06Q38dX5LpUGGIoarvrPSJb5BB1Q =O8e4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --2fHTh5uZTiUOsy+g--
