-This is e93-1.2.5rX, a nifty little editor based on Tcl/Tk.
+e93 is a portable window based text editor oriented to the needs of
+programmers. It was begun in 1993 (thus the name). It uses the mouse,
+selections, cut/copy/paste, and closely follows the model of editors
+on the Macintosh and NeXT platforms.
-Note that this requires a .e93rc file in the user's home directory.
-You can find this file in /usr/X11R6/lib/e93.
+* e93 supports columnar selection. It achieves this by allowing multiple pieces
+ of the text to be selected simultaneously (this is perhaps its most unique
+ feature).
-Satoshi
+* e93 imposes no limits on the line length, file length, or number of
+ simultaneous files which it can edit.
+
+* e93 is able to handle all 8-bit binary codes without complaint, or confusion.
+
+* e93 is highly configurable without recompiling because scripts which control
+ the editor can be written in Tcl.
+
+* e93 supports user-configurable syntax highlighting.
