Re: [TUHS] screen editors

Hoi. [2020-01-10 08:17] U'll Be King of the Stars <ullbeking(a)andrewnesbit.org> Thanks for questioning this statement! It seems as if I might have mixed different memories up. A quick look at GNU ed showed nothing to support my statement. Sorry for pretending stuff without fact checking. My look was at version 1.4, which is the newest one I could look into. I'm pretty sure I examined GNU ed 1.6 back then, because that version is in the Pkgfile of my system, but unfortunately I am unable to find it anywhere. The GNU release mirrors lack all version 1.5 through 1.10 -- why that? They must have been released, at least 1.6, because that is used on my system. Unfortunately I also was unable to access the Changelog of a newer version to check for changes, because these are lzip compressed (tar.lz) ... whatever that is, I cannot uncompress it on my system. Furthermore I neither could find an online browsable web repo view for checking out version 1.6 or at least viewing the files within the browser. There's only a cvs repo access (no cvs on my machine) and it talks about the web page repo not the ed source repo. Not sure what to think of that. That's not how things should be. Actually, I'm a bit depressed now ... meillo P.S. Wikipedia writes that `ed' would be pronounced ``ee-dee'' (like ``vee-eye''), is that what you english speakers do? To me (a native German speaker) it naturally was ``ed'' (like ``sam''). As reference some Computerphile video is given, which is now deleted. Is there a better source? And what about the pronounciations of `ex' and `qed'? What about `od'? (That I pronouce ``oh-dee''.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_(text_editor)
