+Ed -- The Standard Text Editor
+==============================
+
+This version of ed had been cut out of Gunnar Ritter's Heirloom Toolchest.
+The reason for doing so is to have Heirloom ed quickly at hand when I am
+annoyed again by GNU ed. Having to configure and install the complete
+Heirloom Toolchest is more than I usually want. This ed is slightly
+stripped down as only the traditional variant gets created. Any references
+to the other variants and features only in them are removed from the man
+page. Parts of libcommon had been ripped out and included directly. Thus
+the makefile had been reworked.
+
+To install do:
+
+	vi makefile
+	make
+	make install
