Because of this, Pine and Pico are not included with +many GNU/Linux distributions. Also, other features (like goto line +number or search and replace) were unavailable until recently or +require a command line flag. Yuck. + +nano aims to solve these problems by emulating the functionality of +Pico as closely as possible while addressing the problems above and +perhaps providing other extra functionality. +</longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
