An updated package of mined is available for SuSE Linux 8.0: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/8.0-i386/mined-2000.3-0.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/8.0-src/mined-2000.3-0.src.rpm Mined is a text editor, small and easy to use, yet powerful. It is Unicode-capable, using UTF-8 encoding (also converts UTF-16 input).
From the CHANGES file:
=============================================================================
Changes from mined 2000.2 -> mined 2000.3
=========================================
Documentation:
--------------
The manual page was updated and thoroughly revised.
Its primary source was transformed into HTML, roff/man format being
generated.
The mined web pages were updated and revised.
The file "doc/compilation" (with compilation hints) was updated.
Features:
---------
HOP '/' enters an indented Javadoc comment frame.
Interface:
----------
Options can be concatenated on the command line.
(mined -uu instead of mined -u -u enables Unicode line separators.)
Right-to-left script input support is now enabled by default.
The option -b toggles it.
Option -G disables (actually toggles) the display of certain control
characters as block graphics characters (enabled by default).
Option +G enforces use of block graphics for display of menu borders.
May be used if the "alternative character set" capability is not
configured in your system but your terminal does have the capability.
Set output delay (-d0..-d9) to none (-d-) by default in all versions.
The help command was unified on Unix and DOS versions. Not completely,
however, as calling a sub-programm ("less") through the "system" call
doesn't seem to work on DOS (it crashes or blocks terminal input
afterwards, even with cygwin). See also next comment.
A second help viewing mode is now avaible (HOP HELP, e.g. HOP F1). It
displays help information within mined itself, restoring the previous
editing state afterwards.
This is the default on MSDOS for the reason mentioned before.
Bug fixes:
----------
Fixed a screen-related pointer confusion after replacement with multiple
lines (embedded newline) which could result in a display bug and page down
could be blocked.
(Very minor) Just deleting the trailing line-end of a file is also
considered a modification (a file only modified this way would
previously not have been saved automatically).
(Minor) With UTF-8 auto-detection involved, the character count after
reading the file could be wrong (ESC ? would have been correct).
(Minor) The pop-up menu, when modified with HOP and thus becoming smaller,
used to leave the frame of its previous width on the screen.
(Embarassing) Although I was proud of "perfect responsiveness to
window size changes" I had just forgotten to implement that for
the case of a menu being open.
On DOS, editing a file with Unix line-ends, the function "append to buffer"
used to append the lines with MSDOS line-ends.
