After working with Origami as user and developer for many years, I started
writing a successor.  This is version 1.0 beta of fe, a new folding editor.

The current release has the following features:

o  Of course folding!
o  Regions and Emacs-like kill ring
o  Incremental search
o  Keyboard macros
o  Allows editing binary files
o  Multiple windows
o  Menues for the most important functions
o  Tiny size: On Linux/ix86, text+data+bss is 61 KB
o  Compose function for Latin 1 characters
o  Reference manual in troff -mm, PostScript, ASCII and HTML and
   reference card in PostScript

The following things were changed compared to version 0.6:

o  Check all buffers for unsaved changes and warn user on exit.
o  New command: Run a region through a command and place the output in a
   new buffer (C-x |).
o  Display with side scrolling bug fixed.
o  M-l bug fixed.

fe should work on any system, that supports the following:

o  POSIX
o  ANSI C
o  SYSV curses library (ncurses is a free clone)

This fe distribution is available from:
