About NEdit
NEdit is a multi-purpose text editor for the X Window System, which
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 provides intensive support for development in a wide variety of languages,
text processors, and other tools, but at the same time can be used
productively by just about anyone who needs to edit text. NEdit, which is
entirely a volunteer effort, benefits from a strong developer and user
community. As of version 5.1, NEdit may be freely distributed under the terms
of the GNU General Public License.
NEdit was originally developed on a Unix system and is available on all
major Unix and Linux systems. But NEdit can also run on other platforms, if
there is a working X environment available. For instance, NEdit runs on MacOS
X, OS/2 and MS Windows. The platforms page
contains more details.
However, please notice that the NEdit GUI is still based on OSF Motif, which is
part of commercial Unix systems only. On all other operating systems, OSF Motif
is not freely available, so that you have to use a different Motif-like toolkit
for NEdit, e.g. LessTif or OpenMotif. Please make sure to read the toolkit page to learn in what way this situation may
affect you as NEdit user.
The current stable release of NEdit is version 5.4. Have a look at the feature list if you want to find out what NEdit can
do for you. If you are familiar with NEdit, but you want to know what the
latest release has to offer, check out the release
notes. If you are convinced of NEdit's merits, you probably want to download it. If you want to participate in the
discussion on NEdit's usage and development, consider joining one of the mailing lists. If you've encountered a problem or you
think you've discovered a bug, read the trouble
shooting page for suggestions.
