Mined provides both extensive Unicode and CJK support offering many specific features and covering special cases that other editors are not aware of (like auto-detection features and automatic handling of terminal variations, or Han character information). It was the first editor that supported Unicode in a plain-text terminal (like xterm or rxvt). Basically, mined is an editor tailored to reliable and efficient editing of plain text documents and programs, with features and interactive behaviour designed for this purpose. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To install mined on cygwin, run the cygwin setup program, in the "Select Packages" menu, open the "Editors" category and select the mined package. More information (with screenshots, feature overview and change log) and download are available from the mined web site at Mined is co-hosted at sourceforge and has a mailing list which can be subscribed at ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thomas Wolff mined@towo.net -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
