@ABC The minor number designates a subunit of the device. It may be a filesystem partition or a particular line on a TTY device.

be still my heart: For those who use it, there's an updated release of EDLIN. (Twitter)

@JeffSchaller and unlike the original MS-DOS version, this one can be built natively for Unix-style systems: ./configure && make && ./edlin

adds to lunch TODO list

who am I kidding; new tab; wget, unzip, make :)

You know it's an open-source project when the author has a TODO file for internationalization and this: In addition to the above languages, I would like to get translations in widely-known constructed and science fiction languages such as J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth Elven, Loglan, Lojban, and of course, Klingon from "Star Trek".

@JeffSchaller What, no toki pona?!

patches welcome, it sounds like! :)

@JeffSchaller as if there were just one Elvish language...

@ilkkachu an open-source translator's job is never-ending, it seems! :)
