The JED Programmer's Editor

JED is a freely available text editor for Unix, VMS, MSDOS, OS/2, BeOS, QNX, and win9X/NT platforms. Although it is a powerful editor designed for use by programmers, its drop-down menu facility make it one of the friendliest text editors around. Hence it is ideal for composing simple email messages as well as editing complex programs in a variety of computer languages.

JED makes extensive use of the S-Lang library, which endows it with the powerful S-Lang scripting language. This and other features of the library are discussed on the features page.

Information about downloading the latest version of the editor is available on the download page.
