e is a minimalist text editor

inspired by Norton Editor for DOS
insert/replace mode, block operations with highlighting, find and replace, goto line
written in C with ncurses, should compile anywhere
tested with
- FreeBSD 2.2.8-7.2
- RedHat? 6.2
- SunOS? 2.6-10
- Windows using PDCurses (change the header file from ncurses to curses)
file loaded entirely in memory, you are limited only to what realloc(3) returns

Key Bindings

characters, Enter, Up, Down, Left, Right, Home, End, PgUp?, PgDn?, Del, Backspace - standard behavior
ins toggle insert mode
^X exit
^S save file as
^T goto top of text
^O goto bottom of text
^Y delete current line
^Q quote next character (put in text non-printable symbol)
^A go to line by number (or beginning of selection if number not specified)
^F find string (not regexp, usual string, exact case)
^R replace one string by another
^N repeat last operation of find or replace
^B mark begin of block (you'll see if beginning mark before ending)
^E mark end of block
^C copy marked block to current position
^V move marked block to current position
^D delete marked block
^P put (write) block in file
^G get (load) block from file
^J same as PgUp?
^K same as PgDn?

Hints

you can edit binary files because `e' doesn't format anything
to reset block selection put ending mark before or at beginning mark (^B^E)
you can convert Dos files (crlf) to Unix (lf) easily: while pressing Ctrl print trqmmmnnnnnnnnn... :)
and back to Dos: trqjmqmqjmnnn...
by analogy be careful to Ctrl while printing something like 'tboed'
there is no autosave or anything like that, so backup your data in time

Bugs

many operations on every getch: erase() and COLS*LINES addch(), but i don't think its so bad (scrolling is optimised, so on telnet session to 386 i feel the same speed like vi).
bad documentation, which counts only this file in terrible english without man page, i would be very thankful if someone can write it
