I resubscribed to the list to participate in Jim Hall's GNUish project.
I realize that I haven't upgraded edlin since 2010. I have the sources
for 2.15 but Sourceforge locked me out of the project for some reason
and I haven't been able to log in there. Anyway, it is rated 5 stars out
of 5. ;-)
If anyone has anything they would like to contribute for edlin, send me
your sources as I am the new (old) maintainer!
I sent Jim Hall my version of the Unix command 'cat' for the GNUish
project.
The cat command concatenates files and prints them to standard output.
OPTIONS:
-b, --number-nonblank Number all nonblank output lines, starting
with 1.
-e Equivalent to -vE.
-n, --number Number all output lines, starting with 1.
-s, --squeeze-blank Replace multiple adjacent blank lines with a
single blank line.
-t Equivalent to -vT.
-u Ignored; for Unix compatability.
-v, --show-nonprinting Display control characters except for
linefeed and tab using '^' notation and
precede characters that have the high
bit set
with 'M-'.
-A, --show-all Equivalent to -vET.
-E, --show-ends Display a '$' after the end of each line.
-T, --show-tabs Display tab characters as '^I'.
--help Print a usage message and exit with a
non-zero status.
--version Print version information on standard output
then exit.
On systems like MS-DOS that distinguish between text and binary files,
'cat' normally reads and writes in binary mode. However, 'cat' reads in
text
mode if one of the options '-bensAE' is used or if 'cat' is reading from
standard input and standard input is a terminal. Similarly, 'cat'
writes in
text mode if one of the options '-bensAE' is used or if standard output
is a
terminal.
