After working with Origami as user and developer for many years, I started
writing a successor.  This is version 0.5 of fe, a new folding editor.
Despite the low version number, it is suitable for daily use.

The current release has the following features:

o  Of course folding!
o  Regions and Emacs-like kill ring
o  Incremental search
o  Keyboard macros
o  Allows editing binary files
o  Multiple windows
o  Menues for the most important functions
o  Tiny size: On Linux/ix86, text+data+bss is 58 KB
o  Compose function for Latin 1 characters
o  Reference manual in troff -mm, PostScript, ASCII and HTML and
   reference card in PostScript

The following things were changed compared to version 0.4:

o  Various bugfixes
o  Read-only mode with support for RCS
o  Used diction(1) on the manual and made it mostly happy
o  fe saves unsaved buffers to *.hup files when SIGHUP or SIGTERM arrives
o  M-. also sets the mark.  Some ancient terminals don't understand C-@
   or C-space

fe should work on any system, that supports the following:

o  POSIX
o  ANSI C
o  SYSV curses library (ncurses is a free clone)

This fe distribution is available from:
