There appears to be more than one (!) There's one on http://sourceforge.net/projects/libedit/, and one on http://www.thrysoee.dk/editline/ at least. And http://www.s11n.net/editline/. And http://packages.qa.debian.org/e/editline.html. The second one supports cygwin, but not mingw. The first one I have no idea, but it has made no release since 2001 so it doesn't seem very active, whereas the second one made a release in oct 2005. I think the second one is the one the guy in the blog post I sent before was referring to, but I'm not sure. //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
