It should work with +any regular expression package that conforms to the POSIX interface +standard, such as GNU regex(3). + +If reliable signals are supported (e.g., POSIX sigaction(2)), it should +compile with little trouble. Otherwise, the macros SPL1() and SPL0() +should be redefined to disable interrupts. + +The file `POSIX' describes extensions to and deviations from the POSIX +standard. + +The ./test directory contains regression tests for ed. The README +file in that directory explains how to run these. + +For a description of the ed algorithm, see Kernighan and Plauger's book +"Software Tools in Pascal," Addison-Wesley, 1981. |
