NEdit Files

NEdit 5.5 binary kits.

Standard binary distributions in compressed tar file format (see below for
more information).  On systems where Motif is not standard, these are
statically linked, so separate Motif or LessTif installation is not
required.

The following binaries have been tested on the following operating systems:

  nedit-5.5-AIX.tar.*             AIX 4.3 or higher
  nedit-5.5-Cygwin.tar.*          Cygwin 1.5.* with XFree 4.2.0 or
                                    XFree 4.3.0 with 4.2.0 compatibility kit
  nedit-5.5-FreeBSD-i386.tar.*    FreeBSD 4.10 Beta 24 or higher
  nedit-5.5-HPUX.tar.*            HPUX 10.20 or higher
  nedit-5.5-IRIX-mips.tar.*       SGI IRIX 6.2 or higher
  nedit-5.5-Linux-x86.tar.*       RedHat Linux x86 5.2 - 9.0 
  nedit-5.5-MacOSX.tar.*          Mac OS X 10.2 or higher
  nedit-5.5-NetBSD-alpha.tar.*    NetBSD 1.6 or higher
  nedit-5.5-NetBSD-i386.tar.*     NetBSD 1.6 or higher
  nedit-5.5-Solaris-sparc.tar.*   Solaris 5.5 or higher
  nedit-5.5-Tru64-alpha.tar.*     Compaq Tru64 4.0B or higher

Archives are provided in uncompress (.tar.Z) gunzip (.tar.gz) and/or 
bunzip2 (.tar.bz2) formats for operating systems that commonly carry these 
decompressors.

Linux binaries will usually work with other distributions, however due to the
sheer volume of them it's difficult to tell.  Please report any problems or 
successes to develop@nedit.org so we can extend the list of binary-compatible
systems.

INSTALLATION

NEdit consists of two stand-alone executable files which do not require
any special installation beyond copying them to your system and making them
accessible to users.

To Install NEdit on Unix Systems:

    1) Copy the appropriate archive file to your system using ftp in binary
       mode, and use the appropriate decompression utility and tar to expand 
       the archive.  For example:
       
           % uncompress nedit-5.5-Solaris.tar.Z
           % tar xvf nedit-5.5-Solaris.tar

    2) Copy the files, nedit and nc, to a directory which is referenced in
       the paths of the target users.  The usual location for installing
       nedit for system-wide use is /usr/local/bin, or for individual use,
       $HOME/bin.  Note that some systems have a program called netcat
       installed as nc, so you may want to rename the NEdit client to ncl.

    3) Optionally, copy the man pages nedit.man and nc.man to a directory which
       is referenced in the manpaths of the target users.  The usual location
       for installing man pages for system-wide use is /usr/share/man/man1,
       or for individual use, $HOME/share/man/man1.  Again, you may want to
       rename the nc.man man page to ncl.man if you installed nc as ncl.
