 QE is a PE2-like
editor program for U*nix (PE2 is an editor
software for PC-DOS), I named it QE for the
reason that the P is followed by Q, hope it
can exceed PE2 :-), and I release this program
under the terms of General
Public License (GPL) |

The homepage of QE :
http://www.cc.ncu.edu.tw/~center5/product/qe/
(Traditional Chinese homepage in big5)
and the English introdution homepage of QE
is on "Linux for Taiwan"

Download:
The QE source is
developed with C++, the source code can be downloaded
and please make sure you have following software to make
executable binary:
| ¡@ |
reference version |
| GNU C++ Compiler |
gcc-2.8.1.tar.gz
libstdc++-2.8.1.1.tar.gz |
| GNU Curses (ncurses) |
ncurses-4.2.tar.gz |
Steps:
untar the file you've downloaded, edit the Makefile
if you want to change the setting, then run the
following commands:
make
make install
The default executable binary of QE will be installed
under /usr/local/bin, configuration (qe.pro)
and help (qe.hlp) files is under /usr/local/etc
if you didn't change the default Makefile setting.
The "qe.pro" hold the public setting of QE
and key definition, also the macro. or you can use
private one under HOME directory named ".qerc".
For now, key definition under QE is as same as
under PE2, press F1 under QE will retrieve the
"qe.hlp" file for help. you can check
the PE2 manual as well.
QE support color
display, but the behavior of some terminal emulator have
to be changed to support color display. If the console or
terminal emulator under Linux/FreeBSD support color
display, you have to change the TERM to xterm-color
or color_xterm or rxvt (depends
on system):
| shells |
commands |
| csh, tcsh |
setenv TERM xterm-color |
| sh, bash, ksh |
TERM=xterm-color
export TERM |
Or, you can use the command line
options to change the TERM:
qe -t xterm-color
but, this will not work in some platform.
To simplify the setting, use the shell script as follow: (named it pe2 or whatever you like)
#!/bin/sh
t=$TERM
TERM=xterm-color
export TERM
qe "$@"
TERM=$t
export TERM |
Command line options:
| options |

Setting Terminal Type |

| -p |
use profile (.pro) instead of

qe -p ~/myqe.pro |
