Jed SuSE 9.1

Figured this would be the list to send this to as it concerns a programming editor. Was reading a Linux programming book and it mentioned an editor named JED. I have seen Jedit but this was something different. Was surprised to find that there is no version available in the SuSE 9.1 distribution and I have been unable to find any prepared version available for SuSE 9.1 Before I download the sources and try and build from there I thought I would ask the fine members of this list if anyone has any idea why its not in the distribution as I have seen mention of the editor in earlier version of SuSE. Thanks for the help! Charley Rogue1953 @earthlink.net
