============================ seders newsletter #1 ==============================

     seders is a by hand moderated email group to discuss the sed software.
              founder/coordinator: al aab <af137@torfree.net>

As you can see, we are ten seders strong. As I cannot do the whole work alone,
you seders are invited to contribute advice, sugestions, tips, sed scripts,
docs, insights, etc. You may like to check my recent posts to comp.editors,
comp.unix.shell and comp.unix.programmers.

Sources of sed reference material include:
 
* BOOKS
 
  "sed & awk" by Dale Daugherty. Published 1991 by O'Reilly &
  Associates (http://www.ora.com). Still the sed bible.

* ONLINE
 
  The UNIX man pages.

  u-sedit.zip, from SIMTEL, GARBO, & other shareware repositories.

  "sed - a non-interactive text editor" by Lee E. McMahon, Harvard
  University. Better known as Kubla Khan or xanadu.

The least understood sed function/command: D
(See Al Aab's recent post to the aforementioned newsgroups.)
 
sed debugger: guru Brian S Hiles has a sed debugger. Maybe he would share it
with seders. I patched the sed source to make the = operator act as a trace
for the 2 sed buffers, but it is a quick & dirty job.
