Input Line Editing

[Kazumasa Utashiro]

I apology that I didn't know about ile when I posted my last
message about my program, fep, and didn't catch up all messages about
this article. I canceled my message as soon as I realized that, but it
failed (it seems I canceled a message for cancellation only by my
fault... ;-). It was canceled below sra hosts in Junet, gomen'ne.

The concept of fep is exactly same as the one of ile, and takes a same
position for command line editing. It just provides a little more
features; emacs and vi default mode, built-in commands an some
parameters for customization, script, binding for any length of
strings etc. (and Kanji character handling), and a little bit faster.
I assume fep invoked for every command for that user want to use
command line editing, usually this can be done easily csh aliasing,
and not assume one fep for shell and takes care of any commands' input
invoked from it. This method works fine, because fep can keep
different history by different file for each command, and user want
slightly different mapping for each command (e.g., sometime user want
control-D sends eof, and sometime delete current character).

While my messages was sent on accident, some people wanted my program,
so I'm going to post fep to the net after some brushing up (some
feature of ile is looks good). I think posting to comp.sources.unix is
better because it is a moderated group. Anyway, sorry for any
inconvenient for my last message.
