Hi,
Free-BSD seems to have two very useful and equivalent programs,
called "fep" and "ile", to wrap emacs-style or vi-style command-line
editing and tcsh-style history mechanisms around any command-line driven
program. You use them on the command line like
<fep or ile> <interactive-command>
in order to interact comfortably with the <interactive-program>. Neither
of the original programs compile under Linux because they seem to use a
different terminal control mechanism. Does anyone know of a port of these
programs to Linux or of some equivalent program for Linux?
Cheers,
