Package: rlfe (5.2-2)

A front-end using readline to "cook" input lines for other programs

This tool lets you use history and line-editing in any text oriented tool. This is especially useful with third-party proprietary tools that cannot be distributed linked against readline. It is not perfect but it works pretty well.

See the cle package for another program of that kind.
