GNU ed is a line-oriented text editor. It is used to create, display, modify 
and otherwise manipulate text files, both interactively and via shell 
scripts. A restricted version of ed, red, can only edit files in the current 
directory and cannot execute shell commands. Ed is the "standard" text 
editor in the sense that it is the original editor for Unix, and thus widely 
available. For most purposes, however, it is superseded by full-screen 
editors such as GNU Emacs or GNU Moe.

The homepage is at http://www.gnu.org/software/ed/ed.html


Changes in this version:

  * The commands 'q' and 'Q' now work in a global command.

Antonio Diaz, GNU ed maintainer.
