Wahoooo!!!!  It looks like we may soon see Nedit back in the main 
Debian distribution!!!  BTW, the new beta is _very_ nice, has syntax
highlighting, and seems to work just fine with the latest version of
lesstif!  Isn't the world wonderful!  This is a classic example of how the
Debian Free Software Guidelines can persuade software authors to make
their software Free.  This sort of thing is why Debian is so important.
