On a modern Linux system, ed isn't even installed ... 8-O I was quite shocked when I first realized that I had to do `apt-get install ed' to have it available ... on a Unix-like system. But on the other hand, who of today's users is even capable of exiting it?! On my own systems I like to install Heirlomm ed, which I have outfactored from the Heirloom tools package. If you want to actually use it every now and then, Gunnar's ed is much more usable than GNU ed ... which seems to be more a demonstration object than actually a programmer's editor. Anyways, I'm having a great pleasure reading those historic spotlights on editors these days. :-) meillo
