GNU ed is an 8-bit clean, more or less POSIX-compliant implementation of 
the standard Unix line editor.

The homepage is at http://www.gnu.org/software/ed/ed.html

This version is also available in lzip format. If your distro doesn't 
yet distribute the lzip program, you can download it from 
http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip.html


Changes in this version:

  * Ed now flushes stdout/stderr before reading a new command.

  * Man page is now generated with "help2man". All command-line options 
are now documented in the man page.

  * Fixed a portability problem on Linux SPARC.

  * Restored copyright notices of Andrew L. Moore. It seems Andrew 
granted some permissions but never assigned copyright to the FSF.

Antonio Diaz, GNU ed maintainer.
