A package was submitted to savannah.gnu.org.
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden

Other License:
Package: ww -- a console text editor
System name: ww-tedit
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project
WW is a text editor that works on Windows and GNU/Linux platforms. Its
environment is the text mode console. The project aims to produce an editor
that enables the user to seemlesly switch between Windows text console,
GNU/Linux text console and X Server terminal windows with the sharing of
key-bindings and configuration files between the opereting platforms.
At the present moment [15-feb-2002] the editor implements the standard set of
block operations - mark, clipboard transfer, column blocks, undo and redo,
crash recovery, search and replace with Perl regular expressions and patterns,
find in files, persistent bookmarks, pull-down menu system, GNU Info-style
hyper-text browser, calculator.
As goals for mid to long term future can be outlined: autonomous X window
operation, replace in files (with revert), design of plug-ins interface and
developing plug-ins for different languages (syntax highlithing at the
beginning), heuristic navigation history (Alt+left/right to navigate like
browser stack), to redesign the display block to support multi-frame non-modal
split, diff, plug-ins for version control systems (CVS and ClearCase),
spell-check (general or language specific, for example limit the check to
comments in .c file or skip tags in .html file).
As very long term goals: extensive language scanning to provide navigation
within function declaration, structure declarations, function parameters tips,
variables declaration and reference lists.
