It can be linked into almost any +program to provide command-line editing and 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. It is distributed under a "C News-like" copyright, see +the file LICENSE for details. + +Configuration is made by supplying different options to the GNU +configure script. In the examples directory, type "make testit" to +get a small slow shell for testing. + +Changes +------- +An earlier version was distributed with Byron's rc. Principal changes +over that version include: + + * Faster. + * Is eight-bit clean (thanks to brendan@cs.widener.edu) + * 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 + * More system-independant; includes Unix and OS-9 support. + +This contains some changes since the posting to comp.sources.misc: + * Bugfix for completion on absolute pathnames. + * Better handling of M-n versus showing raw 8bit chars. + * Better signal handling. + * Now supports termios/termio/sgttyb ioctl's. + * Add M-m command to toggle how 8bit data is displayed. + +Bugs +---- +There is one known bug.
