For this the patches below are neccesary. There is a fully implemented version of 4.3BSD ed for 386BSD (with undo and crypt). One advantage over elvis is that it can handle files >2MB (like the Posix Standards docs...). It also _really_ fixes the global and substitute commands. Before it is released, I want to speed up regular expressions and maybe take a stab at Posix (,and I am waiting for permission to distribute Kernighan and Plauger's code). A few testers would sure be helpful in the mean time! -Andrew Moore <alm@netcom.com>
