Thank you for your interest in gEdit, a text editor for X using
the GTK+ and GNOME libraries. It is being developed

This version is quite a neat text editor, it contains the following
features:
	* Opening/Saving/Creating of files;
	* Cut/Copy/Paste and Select All text;
	* Search and Replace;
	* A complete preferences interface;
	* Dynamically loading fonts;
	* Splitscreen Mode;
	* Printing support; 
	* Configurable Plugins system.

It is quite stable at the moment, but there are certainly still bugs in it -
if you find one, please contact one or both of us at the email addresses given
