ASCII editor clarification <sorry, kind'a long>

[dep]

begin  Harry G's  quote:

| Here is the full story.
|
| A court reporter creates a transcript.  It is saved in ASCII
| format. This format needs (at times) to be e mailed to the office,
| where it can be printed and copies made.
|
| The lines are all numbered in the left column.  No changes, i.e.
| word wrapping, spacing, change in the cover page format can be
| accepted.  No further editing is to be done to the document unless
| the original reporter is making a correction.  then it is to be
| saved in an archive for the next 20 plus years (another email
| another day).  Right now, they save hard copies, and thousands of
| floppies.  This is not a good way to save things for such a long
| time.

yup. you'll *love* nedit. (which, actually, will be the project of the 
week on lnm, just because there are people who don't know about it. i 
only wish there were a console version of it.)
