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.
nedit-5.3: description + notes
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. TheXUSERFILESEARCHPATH
,XAPPLRESDIR
,XFILESEARCHPATH
, andXENVIRONMENT
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(IfXUSERFILESEARCHPATH
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.)
