GNU nano - an enhanced clone of the Pico text editor. Overview The nano project was started because of a few "problems" with the wonderfully easy-to-use and friendly Pico text editor. First and foremost is its license: the Pine suite does not use the GPL or a GPL-friendly license, and has unclear restrictions on redistribution. Because of this, Pine and Pico are not included with many GNU/Linux distributions. Also, other features (like goto line number or search and replace) were unavailable until recently or require a command-line flag. Yuck. nano aims to solve these problems by emulating the functionality of Pico as closely as possible while adressing the problems above and perhaps providing other extra functionality. The nano editor is now an official GNU package. For more information on GNU and the Free Software Foundation please see http://www.gnu.org. How to compile and install nano Download the nano source code, then: tar zxvf nano-x.y.z.tar.gz cd nano-x.y.z ./configure make make install It's that simple. Use --prefix with configutr to override the default installation directory of /usr/local. Web Page http://www.nano-editor.org Mailing List and Bug Reports SourceForge hosts all the nano-related mailing-lists. + nano-announce@lists.sourceforge.net is a very low traffic list used to announce new Nano versions or other important information about the project. + nano-devel@lists.sourceforge.net is the list used by the people that make Nano and a general development discussion list, with moderate traffic. To subscribe, send email to nano-<name>-request@lists.sourceforge.net with a subject of "subscribe", where <name> is the list you want to subscribe to. For general bug reports, send a description of the problem to nano@nano-editor.org or directly to the development list. Current Status nano is currently at the 1.0 prerelease level. This mean it has all features that the 1.0 version will have and only bug fixes and updates will be added before the official 1.0 is released. There are still a few lingering bugs, but for the most part your data should be safe. Backups are still your friend though. Note that the primary aim of nano is to emulate Pico while adding a few key "missing" features. I do NOT want just a GPL'ed Pico clone, nor do I want something that strays too far from the Pico design (simple and straightforward). If you don't like this, feel free to fork my code at any time, but please call your editor something else, believe it or not I struggled awhile before coming up with the name nano (and before that TIP), and it would be much easier for everyone if there weren't five versions of the same program.
