! 14: This is a string packages that uses a tree-based representation.
! 15: See cord.h for a description of the functions provided. Ec.h describes
! 16: "extensible cords", which are essentially output streams that write
! 17: to a cord. These allow for efficient construction of cords without
! 18: requiring a bound on the size of a cord.
! 19:
! 20: de.c is a very dumb text editor that illustrates the use of cords.
! 21: It maintains a list of file versions. Each version is simply a
! 22: cord representing the file contents. Nonetheless, standard
! 23: editing operations are efficient, even on very large files.
! 24: (Its 3 line "user manual" can be obtained by invoking it without
! 25: arguments. Note that ^R^N and ^R^P move the cursor by
! 26: almost a screen. It does not understand tabs, which will show
! 27: up as highlighred "I"s. Use the UNIX "expand" program first.)
! 28: To build the editor, type "make cord/de" in the gc directory.
! 29:
! 30: This package assumes an ANSI C compiler such as gcc. It will
! 31: not compile with an old-style K&R compiler.
