Yes, it is Rich Salz's from 1992-3.  It has recall, history searching
(although not incremental.  there are patches for that elsewhere I may
integrate), file completiton, and command line editting.  It does not
have the configurability of readline.

For people who must fit their entire system into a 1MB flash ROM 
a 200+kb readline is difficult to justify. 20k is hard to resist.
