 QE
is a PE2-like editor program under U*nix (PE2 is an
editor software under PC-DOS), I named it QE
for the reason that the P is followed by Q, hope
it can exceed PE2 :-), and I release this program under the terms of General
Public License (GPL) |

Download:
The QE
source is developed under C++, the source code can be downloaded
and please make sure you have following software to make executable binary:
| ¡@ |
reference version |
| GNU C++ Compiler |
gcc-2.8.1.tar.gz
libstdc++-2.8.1.1.tar.gz |
| GNU Curses (ncurses) |
ncurses-4.2.tar.gz |
Steps:
untar the file you've downloaded, edit the Makefile if you want to change the setting, then run the following commands:
make
make install
The default executable binary of QE
will be installed under
/usr/local/bin, configuration (qe.pro) and help (qe.hlp) files is under
/usr/local/etc if you didn't change the default Makefile setting.
The "qe.pro" hold the public setting of QE
and key definition, also the macro. or you can use private one under HOME directory named
".qerc". For now, key definition under QE
is as same as under PE2, press F1 under QE
will retrieve the "qe.hlp" file for help. you can check the PE2 manual as well.
QE
support color display, but the behavior of some terminal emulator have to be changed to support color display. If the console or terminal emulator under Linux/FreeBSD support color display, you have to change the
TERM to xterm-color or color_xterm or rxvt
(depends on system):
| shells |
commands |
| csh, tcsh |
setenv TERM xterm-color |
| sh, bash, ksh |
TERM=xterm-color
export TERM |
Or, you can use the command line options to change the TERM:
qe -t xterm-color
but, this will not work in some platform.
To simplify the setting, use the shell script as follow:
#!/bin/sh
t=$TERM
TERM=xterm-color
export TERM
qe "$@"
TERM=$t
export TERM |
Command line options:
| options |
descriptions |
examples |
| -h |
Help (available option list) |
¡@ |
| -t |
Setting Terminal Type |
qe -t xterm-color |
| -p |
use profile (.pro) instead of ~/.qerc |
qe -p ~/myqe.pro |
