- Several months ago I posted my 'readline.pl' package which provides
- much of the same things as GNU readline, including horizontal scrolling,
- command/file completion, rebinding, support for ".inputrc", undo,
- history (with search), numeric prefixes, etc.
-
- In addition (and as an option, because I like it but others might not),
- it provides tcsh-compatable command/file completion.
-
- Let me know if you'd like a copy but can't find it archived.
