nedit-5.3: description + notes

NEdit is a multi-purpose text editor for the X Window System that 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.

The Nedit.org web site has more information.

This product installs its X application default files in /usr/freeware/lib/X11/app-defaults, which is not on the default X search path. There are several ways to extend your X search path. The XUSERFILESEARCHPATH, XAPPLRESDIR, XFILESEARCHPATH, and XENVIRONMENT environment variables all affect resource file loading. The easiest methods are to either create a symlink in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults or to add code similar to this to your startup scripts:

   % export XUSERFILESEARCHPATH=\
   ${XUSERFILESEARCHPATH:+${XUSERFILESEARCHPATH}:}\
   /usr/freeware/lib/X11/%T/%N%C%S:\
   /usr/freeware/lib/X11/%T/%N%S:\
   /usr/freeware/lib/X11/app-defaults/%N%C%S:\
   /usr/freeware/lib/X11/app-defaults/%N%S
(If XUSERFILESEARCHPATH is already set we append the new directories separated by a colon, otherwise we simply set it to the new colon-separated list. The line wrapping above is for clarity; the actual value should be a single line with no embedded whitespace or backslashes.)
