I have modified the version of GNU sed posted in July 89 to run on a PC
(along with fixing a number of bugs in the Unix version).  I plan to
send the result back to the GNU people when it's complete (or should I
just post it?  what's the netiquette thing to do?), but I can mail a
"pre-release" version to anyone interested.  Just send me mail -- I'm
a little hazy on how to send mail to the UK; maybe you can give me
a few hints.
