Mined Version 2 -- modified version of the Mined editor
Will Rose   cwr@cts.com     posted Jan 1999

This is a modified version of the Mined editor distributed with
Minix; it uses two-level menus, rather than the single control
codes of the standard Mined, and is set up to emulate (roughly)
the old Wordstar command set.  Configuration is relatively easy,
and could with a bit of extra work be done on the fly.

The editor also supports multiple files on the command line
(useful when splitting and recombining files too large to fit in
the program's edit buffer), and a limited set of macros.  See
'mined.hlp' for a full set of commands, and minedkey.h for the
built-in configuration.

Installation is just a matter of typing 'make' in the appropriate
directory, putting the mined binary (linked to 'minvw' if required)
on the path, and putting the help file 'mined.help' in /usr/lib.
The tst_scr.c code is a simple test of the screen control codes
used by mined.  It's useful mainly for debugging.

The code was developed under Minix 1.3 onwards, but no longer runs
on anything except Minix 2.0; to run it under 1.5 the code using
varags.h and the tty mode-setting code would have to be replaced
with the originals.  On the other hand, it's a bit more portable
than the old code; I've isolated the system dependencies with
#if (OS == ...) defines, and a lot of the debugging was done
under OS/2.
