This version of JED requires slang version 1.0 or greater.  If you do
not have the library, pick up the slang distribution as well and compile it
first.  It is not needed for the pc (.zip) distribution.

jedXXX.zip contains DOS executables (bin/jed*.exe) necessary library
files, etc... It does not contain any source code.  The source code is
available in the .tar.gz file.  If you get the .zip file, remember to
unzip it using the pkunzip -d option!!

If you plan to use the jed.exe executable, available in the .zip
distribution, you will need a DPMI server.  Windows, QDPMI, 386Max,
NWDOS, OS/2, Win/NT, and Linux DOSemu all provide a DPMI server.  If
you intend to run jed.exe outside one of these environments, pick up
the freely availble dpmi server in the csdpmi subdirectory.

Note: jed.exe requires a 386+ class machine.  The original IBMPC,
IBMPC-XT, and IBMPC-AT (286) systems are no longer supported.  If you
intend to used JED on one of these older systems, use jed098-4.zip in
the `OLD' subdirectory.
