        !            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

        !            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.

        !            30: This package assumes an ANSI C compiler such as gcc.  It will
