09/21/87 ted Known errors in the current release of ted. # Associated TR's Description 163 When a buffer exceeds 99999 lines, "x" gets a size condition. 162 "vd/xxx/" which deletes the last line of the buffer leaves "." undefined, unlike ted_3.0y. 134 phx16876 "g*/./ P" prints null lines. 120 phx15889 Given a regular expression of the form /aa.*xyz.*ttl/ the matching does not give what people think it should because of the way it is implemented. People seem to expect that if the "xyz" is found and then no "ttl" can be, that the search would back up and look for another "xyz". This is not the case. If a search fails, it always goes back to the beginning of the expression, moves ahead 1 character in the string being searched and tries again. ----------------------------------------------------------- Historical Background This edition of the Multics software materials and documentation is provided and donated to Massachusetts Institute of Technology by Group BULL including BULL HN Information Systems Inc. as a contribution to computer science knowledge. This donation is made also to give evidence of the common contributions of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Bell Laboratories, General Electric, Honeywell Information Systems Inc., Honeywell BULL Inc., Groupe BULL and BULL HN Information Systems Inc. to the development of this operating system. Multics development was initiated by Massachusetts Institute of Technology Project MAC (1963-1970), renamed the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence in the mid 1970s, under the leadership of Professor Fernando Jose Corbato. Users consider that Multics provided the best software architecture for managing computer hardware properly and for executing programs. Many subsequent operating systems incorporated Multics principles. Multics was distributed in 1975 to 2000 by Group Bull in Europe , and in the U.S. by Bull HN Information Systems Inc., as successor in interest by change in name only to Honeywell Bull Inc. and Honeywell Information Systems Inc. . ----------------------------------------------------------- Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute these programs and their documentation for any purpose and without fee is hereby granted,provided that the below copyright notice and historical background appear in all copies and that both the copyright notice and historical background and this permission notice appear in supporting documentation, and that the names of MIT, HIS, BULL or BULL HN not be used in advertising or publicity pertaining to distribution of the programs without specific prior written permission.
