X11/Motif GUI text editor for programs and plain text files

NEdit is a GUI Graphical User Interface style text editor for programs and plain-text files. Users of Macintosh and MS Windows based text editors will find NEdit a familiar and comfortable environment. NEdit provides all of the standard menu, dialog, editing, and mouse support, as well as all of the standard shortcuts to which the users of modern GUI based environments are accustomed. For users of older style Unix editors, welcome to the world of mouse-based editing!

This port requires a Motif library to build and run. It is recommended that you use OpenMotif as Nedit has font aliasing issues when using LessTif.
