I've spent some time working on the editline library.
Thanks to Simmy for his help and permission. The README
is attached. Source is on ftp.uu.net, ~ftp/tmp/editline.shar.Z;
email me if you can't FTP. Once I get feedback I'll post it to the
net.
To use it, enable the READLINE #define in rc (not EDITLINE).
/r$
This is a line-editing library. It can be linked into almost any
program to provide command-line editing and history recall.
It is call-compatible with the FSF readline library, but it is a
fraction of the size (and offers fewer features). It does not use
standard I/O.
Configuration is done in the Makefile. Type "make testit" to get
a small slow shell for testing.
An earlier version was distribution with Byron's rc. Principal
changes over that version include:
Faster.
About 10% smaller.
Written in K&R C, but ANSI compliant (gcc all warnings)
Propagates EOF properly; rc trip test now passes
Doesn't need or use or provide memmove.
More robust
Calling sequence changed to be compatible with readline.
Test program, new manpage, better configuration
Enjoy,
