<B>nano</B> is a small, free and friendly editor which aims to replace
|
|
|
|
|
Pico, the default editor included in the non-free Pine package. Rather
|
|
|
|
|
than just copying Pico's look and feel,
|
2000-06-06 09:53:49 +04:00
|
|
|
<B>nano</B>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2000-12-03 06:23:16 +03:00
|
|
|
also implements some missing (or disabled by default) features in Pico,
|
|
|
|
|
such as "search and replace" and "goto line number".

Nano will try to dump the buffer into an emergency file in some cases.
|
2001-05-05 21:45:54 +04:00
|
|
|
Mainly, this will happen if Nano receives a SIGHUP or runs out of
|
2000-12-03 06:23:16 +03:00
|
|
|
memory, when it will write the buffer into a file named "nano.save" if the
|
|
|
|
|
buffer didn't have a name already, or will add a ".save" suffix to the
|
2001-05-05 21:45:54 +04:00
|
|
|
current filename. Nano will <B>not</B> write this file if a previous one
|
2000-12-03 06:23:16 +03:00
|
|
|
exists in the current directory.
