I notice nano-8.7 has increased in size to 42KB, so the size difference
is becoming more of a consideration.
Anyway, when i work out how to change configure.in to enable ./configure
--with-slang ill send a (only a few lines of changes) patch to the
author,
anyone know any pointers to good(simple) documentation on configure?
I did speak to the author initially about the size difference between
