GNU moe is a powerful, 8-bit clean, console text editor for ISO-8859 and
ASCII character encodings. It has a modeless, user-friendly interface,
online help, multiple windows, unlimited undo/redo capability, unlimited
line length, unlimited buffers, global search/replace (on all buffers at
once), block operations, automatic indentation, word wrapping, file name
completion, directory browser, duplicate removal from prompt histories,
delimiter matching, text conversion from/to UTF-8, romanization, etc.
Moe can easily edit thousands of files at once.
Moe uses ISO-8859-15 instead of UTF-8 because an 8-bit character set
(combined with romanization if needed) can convey meaning safely and
more efficiently than UTF-8 can.
UTF-8 is a great tool for tasks like writing books of mathematics or
mixing Greek with Chinese in the same document. But for many other
everyday computing and communication tasks, an 8-bit code like
ISO-8859-15 is much more practical, efficient and reliable. There is no
such thing as an "invalid" or "out of range" ISO-8859-15 character.
UTF-8 is fine for non-parsable, non-searchable documents that must look
"pretty", but not so fine for things like configuration files or C++
source code. UTF-8 greatly hinders parsability (and may even become a
security risk) by providing multiple similar-looking variations of basic
alphabetic, punctuation, and quoting characters. UTF-8 also makes search
difficult and unreliable. For example, searching for a word like "file"
in an UTF-8 document may fail if the document uses the compound
character 'fi' instead of the string "fi".

Changes in this version:
* The new help key 'C-a' (Control-A) has been added because 'F1' is
intercepted by some terminal emulators, and 'C-h' is interpreted as
backspace by others.
* An 8-bit "C" locale is now used in Cygwin so that ncurses can show
characters higher than 127.

Antonio Diaz, GNU Moe author and maintainer.
