>NEdit is a Unix text editor for programmers and general users.
>It combines a standard, easy-to-use, graphical user interface with
>the thorough functionality and stability required by users who edit
>text eight hours a day.
>It includes a macro language with a complete library of editing
>functions, state-of-the-art syntax highlighting for 30 common languages
>and text processors, and the best mouse-interactivity available in a
>Unix text editor, without sacrificing keyboard shortcuts.
>
>The most significant enhancements in version 5.2 are:
>
>  - Added built-in syntax highlighting patterns for CSS, XML, and regular
>    expressions (Regex).
>    Many other pattern updates.
>
>  - Support for high- and true-color systems. NEdit now will
>    automatically select the best visual from your X server. This reduces
>    the chance of running out of colors.
>
>  - New features in the Find and Replace dialogs:
>
>    o Replacement across multiple windows in a session.
>    o Case sensitivity may be set independently of regular expressions.
>    o A "Replace and Find" command, which saves keystrokes when doing
>      a large-scale find & replace.
>
>  - Many new macro subroutines and variables.
>
>  - Multidimensional associative arrays for the macro language.
>
>  - Support for wheel mouse scrolling on servers that support it
>    (XFree86).
>
>There are also several smaller improvements and bug fixes, see the
>ReleaseNotes and Changelog files for details.
