Xenon 0.6.7
-----------

Last Updated: Feb 10 2000

Xenon is a simple X-based text editor which is very handy for things like
editing source code, system configuration files, scripts and whatever else
is an ASCII text file.

Xenon does not use Motif or any other UI library to provide the user interface
becase none were suitable and would have defeated the purpose of writing
this program.

Features include:
  * Speed, simplicity and low memory use.
  * Search, substring or regular expression (Linux only)
  * Multiple undo/redo.
  * Display of line numbers, jump to line number
  * Some X resource configuration: mostly command keys, some colours
  * Man page!
  * Some error dialogs.
  * Multiple files in separate windows.
  * Open multiple files from the command line
  * Run Once (only one process per uid and X connection IP number)
  * Visible display of unprintable control characters with solid rectangles.
    This means CRLF files and binary files are dealt with much more gracefully.
  * Brace (bracket) match feature (C, C++, Java).
  
Limitations (currently):
  * Non-proportional font only.
  * No macros.

See the INSTALL file for installation instructions.
Xenon is GPL'ed. See the COPYING file for the GPL.
