either type of archive, whichever is more convenient for you.

Changes in version 1.5:

    "moe +line,column file_name".

big-endian multibyte value" have been added.

relative to the current value.

  * The key combination for the command "show character info" has been 
changed to "Alt-i".

  * The clock now shows a "." after the minutes for PM.

  * Moe now removes the file before saving when "create backups" is off 
to avoid following links.

  * "reformat paragraph" now uses as left margin the maximum of left 
margin and cursor column.

  * "change buffer name" now rejects the names of files already being 
edited.

  * "last visited" now does not change after adding or removing handles.

  * Common limits have been set for editor options in rc and menu.

  * The new chapter "Info commands" has been added to the manual.

  * Quote characters in messages have been changed as advised by GNU 
Coding Standards.

  * Configure option "--datadir" has been renamed to "--datarootdir" to 
follow GNU Standards.

  * The target "install-bin" has been added to the Makefile.
