+ This repo is for the storage of a public-domain
+readline-and-command-history implementation.
-Update - 24th Aug 2012 -
-Added the mg editor files from OpenBSD.
-I obtained the code from here -
-ftp://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/mirrors/OpenBSD/src/usr.bin/mg/
+FILES:
-( It's not so much the editor itself that is the main interest here,
-but the line-management code. )
+pd_readline.c - This is a file to test the
+implementation. Contains the main() function.
-NOTE - in the mg directory, the file "theo.c" is NOT
-"public domain" ( but it HAD to be included because of the
-humour...... ;) )
+test.txt - A small text file to test scrolling
+up and down with. This would be the "history" file
+in a real readline implementation.
-Many thanks to the OpenBSD team and the mg devs
-(hi Theo - arrrrrrgh, please don't hit me........... ;) )
+
+Status - 31st Dec 2015 - "sort of works".
+
+I'm back into doing work on this code.
+
+I've reverted the code to a much simpler early version.
+This compiles without errors and allows scrolling up
+and down through the "test.txt" "dummy history" file.
+It also allows editing of the command line.
+However, edits are *not* yet saved in a history file.
+
+Pressing Enter exits the program rather than storing
+the existing command-line and "staying in the program".
+I hope to change this soon.
+
+You can edit a command-line (using backspace).
+You can move around with left and right-arrow
+keys.
+"Dummy" history (from text.txt) can be recalled from a file with
+the up-arrow key, and you can scroll up and down
+through that file using the up and down arrows.
+
+This code is released to the public domain.
+"Share and enjoy........ ;) "
