This directory contains EDB, a database program for GNU Emacs. EDB was written by Michael Ernst . It is possible that this directory contains a prerelease of the next version of EDB, but that should not affect you. The following files are available: README This file. The code/ and examples/ directories have README files of their own. edb-VER.tar.Z A gzipped tar file of the entire package, eg edb-1.19.tar.gz. code/ To install EDB, get this file, then issue the following commands: gunzip edb-VER.tar.gz tar xvf edb-VER.tar This creates a new directory edb-VER; read its README file, which is different from this file. All of the files in the tar file are also available from the code subdirectory of this directory; this is useful if you have no gunzip or tar program, or if you only want to get a more recent version of a few files. edb.dvi The bulk of the EDB documentation is in the texinfo file edb.ps edb.texi, which is included in edb.tar.Z and can also edb.info be found as code/edb.texi.
