1.3. Why the name change from TIP?

On January 10, 2000, TIP was officially renamed to nano because of a namespace conflict with another program called 'tip'. The original 'tip' program "establishes a full duplex terminal connection to a remote host", and was included with many older Unix systems (and newer ones like Solaris). The conflict was not noticed at first because there is no 'tip' utility included with most GNU/Linux distributions (where nano was developed).

1.4. What is the current version of nano?

-

The current version of nano should be 8.0. Of course, you should always check the nano homepage to see what the latest and greatest version is.

+

The current version of nano should be 8.1. Of course, you should always check the nano homepage to see what the latest and greatest version is.

1.5. I want to read the man page without having to download the program!

Jeez, demanding, aren't we? Okay, look here.
