Re: [Caml-list] Gnu readline functionality in ocaml?

[Jeremie Dimino <jdimino@janestreet.com>]

More precisely, zed implements the part of text edition that is
completely independent of the actual user interface. Lambda-term on
the other hand is a comprehensive terminal library that among other
things relies on zed to provide readline-like functionality and text
edition widgets by "connecting" zed to the terminal operations. But
for instance, it would be straightforward to create a simple text
editor using zed and notty.
