editors/ne,
Terminal text editor
Branch: CURRENT,
Version: 3.18nb1,
Package name: ne-3.18nb1,
Maintainer: prlw1NE is a text editor that was originally designed to run on a wide
variety of machines, from large servers to personal workstations.
In the past it ran on a number of operating systems; however, the
current version supports only Unix-like systems.
The main use of NE is expected to be as an interactive screen
editor. However, it can also function as a line-by-line editor,
and it is programmable, so it can be run non-interactively as a
text manipulation tool.
NE is a re-implementation of a previous editor that was called E,
which in turn evolved from one called Zed and a number of predecessors
that ran on IBM mainframes. The lineage can be traced back to some
very early Cambridge text editors of the 1960s.

Update ne to 3.18
Version 3.18 04-May-2021
------------------------
1. Allow mark textblock and mark rectangle keystrokes in readonly mode (the
corresponding commands and the "copy" keystroke were already allowed; \
this was
an oversight).
2. Two casts in sysunix.c for the 2nd argument of tgetstr().
3. The buffers for file names were too small for very long file names. They
have been increased in size and put on the stack instead of statics in the
binary.
4. Some obsolete memory-handling code has been tidied up. Use size_t for memory
sizes. NE now frees all its memory via an atexit() function, but in screen mode
ncurses doesn't free everything (see various online discussions).
Version 3.17 21-October-2018
----------------------------
1. Added support for Page-up, Page-down, Home, and End keys via terminfo or
termcap.
2. Fix 2 for 3.16 had a bug when the build date was greater than the 9th of the
month.
Version 3.16 07-August-2018
---------------------------
1. In screen mode, if an empty line was given in response to the \
"Write" prompt
at the end of editing, NE crashed.
2. Refactor to use memcpy() instead of strncpy() when messing with substrings
in order to avoid GCC string truncation warnings.
3. Implemented the "unformat" command.
4. Allow up to function key 30 (previously was 29, don't know why), and set
function keystring 30 to "unformat".
5. When screen mode was temporarily suspended via the "*" command, if the
"load" or "g" commands required a user response, NE crashed.
6. Recognize -version as well as --version and -v since all other long options
have just a single hyphen.

Manually fixed the changes in editors/nedit since the "fixed" indentation
was wrong.

Log message:
Update ne to 3.15
Version 3.15 01-May-2018
------------------------
1. The "logo" line "NE version xxxx" was showing the PCRE \
version which was
current when NE was compiled (static) instead of getting the current (dynamic)
version from a shared library. This is now fixed and the line reformatted.
2. Minor error in command line decoding; for switch items such as -id it was
checking the text pointer (which might be partly unset) instead of the number
field.
3. There is now a maximum linelength that NE will handle when reading a file in
non-binary mode. The limit is 100,000 bytes. This prevents it going into a
meltdown memory thrashing state for a file that contains an excessively long
line.
Version 3.14 26-February-2018
-----------------------------
1. Two calls to error_moan() for failing to open a file were missing a second
argument (specifying reading or writing), leading to a crash for an unknown
file.
2. Added strerror() calls to all failed-do-open file errors.
3. Added some "fall through" comments when deliberately falling through.
4. Increased an internal buffer size to avoid format-overflow warning in "show
wordcount" command.
5. Implemented -notraps to disable catching crash signals. This makes crashes
easier to debug.
