Sed 2.05 notes
______________

These are short notes regarding this 'quick and dirty' RISC OS port of GNU sed
2.05. Please don't expect any of the 'fancy' stuff to work (although some of it
might), because I haven't tested it.

This is the GNU version of the well known Unix commandline utility 'sed'. Sed
is a program that can edit text files according to an editing script. It is a
very handy tool for applying quick 'on the fly' changes to text files, but it
can also do more complex things.

I'm not providing sources or docs, please get these from almost anywhere on the
Internet, for example from :

ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/sed-2.05.tar.gz

Then follow the 'recipe' in BuildHow (if you want to compile sed yourself).

The binary should be compatible with :

- RISC OS 3.1 and later
- ARM 2 and later processors (26- or 32-bit architectures)
