<h2>

<blockquote><font color="#330000">This FAQ was written and is maintained
by Chris Allegretta &lt;<a href="mailto:chrisa@asty.org">chrisa@asty.org</a>>,
who also happens to be the creator of nano.&nbsp;&nbsp; Maybe someone else
will volunteer to maintain this FAQ someday, who knows...</font></blockquote>
<h2>
<a NAME="1.2"></a><font color="#330000">1.2. How do I contribute to it?</font></h2>
<blockquote><font color="#330000">Your best bet is to send it to the nano
email address, <a href="mailto:nano@asty.org">nano@asty.org</a> and if
it is useful enough it will be included in future versions.</font></blockquote>
<h2>
<a NAME="1.3"></a><font color="#330000">1.3. What is nano?</font></h2>
<blockquote><font color="#330000">Nano is designed to be a free replacement
for the Pico text editor, part of the PINE email suite from <a href="http://www.washington.edu/pine">The
University of Washington</a>.&nbsp; It aims to "emulate Pico as closely
as possible and perhaps include extra functionality WITHOUT breaking compatibility
with Pico.</font></blockquote>
<h2>
<a NAME="1.4"></a><font color="#330000">1.4. What is the history behind
nano?</font></h2>
<blockquote><font color="#330000">Funny you should ask!</font>
<p><b><font color="#330000">In the beginning...</font></b>
<p><font color="#330000">For years Pine was THE program used to read email
on a Unix system.&nbsp; The Pico text editor is the portion of the program
one would use to compose his or her mail messages.&nbsp; Many beginners
to Unix flocked to Pico and Pine because of their well organized, easy
to use interfaces.&nbsp; With the proliferation of Linux in the mid to
late 90's, many University students became intimately familiar with the
strengths (and weaknesses) of Pine and Pico.</font>
<p><b><font color="#330000">Then came debian...</font></b>
<p><font color="#330000">The <a href="http://www.debian.org">debian GNU/Linux</a>
distribution, known for its strict standards in distributing truly "free"
software (i.e. had no restrictions on redistribution), would not include
a binary package for Pine or Pico.&nbsp; Many people had a serious dilemma:&nbsp;
they loved these programs, but they were not truly free software in the
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">GNU</a>
sense of the word.</font>
<p><b><font color="#330000">The event...</font></b>
<p><font color="#330000">It was in late 1999 when Chris Allegretta (our
hero) was yet again complaining to himself about the less-than-perfect
license Pico was distributed under, the 10000 makefiles that came with
it and how just a few small improvements could make it the Best Editor
in the World (TM).&nbsp; Having been a convert from Slackware to debian,
he missed having a simple binary package that included Pine and Pico, and
had grown tired of downloading them himself.</font>
<p><font color="#330000">Finally something snapped inside and Chris coded
and hacked like a madman for many hours straight one weekend to make a
(barely usable) Pico clone, at the time called TIP (Tip Isn't Pico).&nbsp;
The program could not be invoked without a filename, could not save files,
had no help menu, spell checker, and so forth.&nbsp; But over time it improved,
and with the help of a few great coders it matured to the almost stable
state it is today.</font></blockquote>
<h2>
<a NAME="1.5"></a><font color="#330000">1.5. Why the name change from TIP?</font></h2>
<blockquote><font color="#330000">On January 10, 2000, TIP was officially
renamed to nano because of a namespace conflict with another program called
'tip'.&nbsp; The original 'tip' program "establishes a full duplex terminal
connection to a remote host", and was included with many older Unix systems
(and newer ones like Solaris). The conflict was not noticed at first because
there is no 'tip' utility included with most Linux distributions (where
nano was developed).</font></blockquote>
<h2>
<a NAME="1.6"></a><font color="#330000">1.6 What is the current version
of nano?</font></h2>
<blockquote><font color="#330000">The current version of nano *should*
be 0.9.12.&nbsp; Of course you should always check the nano hompage to
see what the latest and greatest version is.</font></blockquote>
<h2>
<a NAME="1.7"></a><font color="#330000">1.7. I want to read the man page
without having to download the program!</font></h2>
<blockquote><font color="#330000">Jeez, demanding, aren't we?&nbsp;&nbsp;
Okay, look <a href="http://www.asty.org/nano/dist/nano.1.html">here</a>.</font></blockquote>

<ul>
<li>
<font color="#330000"><a href="http://www.debian.org/Packages/frozen/editors/nano.html">frozen</a></font></li>

</ul>
<font color="#330000">Note that versions &lt; 0.9.10 are probably not for
those wanting to get serious work done, so until the frozen/stable distributions
have an updated version of nano, you are best off using the one in unstable
for now.</font></blockquote>
<h2>
<a NAME="2.4"></a><font color="#330000">2.4. By CVS (for the brave).</font></h2>
<blockquote><font color="#330000">For the 'bleeding edge' current version
of nano, you can use CVS to download the current source code.&nbsp; <b>Note:</b>
believe it or not, by downloading code that has not yet stabilized into
an official release, there could quite possibly be bugs, in fact the code
may not even compile!&nbsp; Anyway, see <a href="https://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=1304">the
nano CVS page</a> for info on anonymous CVS access to the nano source.</font></blockquote>

<h2>
<a NAME="3.1"></a><font color="#330000">3.1. How do install the RPM or
DEB package?</font></h2>
<blockquote><font color="#330000">It's simple really!&nbsp; As root, type
<b>rpm
-Uvh nano-x.y.z-1.i386.rpm</b> if you have a Redhat-ish system or
<b>dpkg
-i nano_x.y.z-1.deb</b> if you have a Debian-ish system, where
<b>x.y.z</b>
is the release of nano.&nbsp; There are other programs to install programs,
and if you wish to use those, knock yourself out.</font></blockquote>
<h2>
<a NAME="3.2"></a><font color="#330000">3.2. Compiling from source: WHAT
THE HECK DO I DO NOW?</font></h2>
<blockquote><font color="#330000">Okay, take a deep breath, this really
isn't hard.&nbsp; Unpack the nano source with a command like:</font>
<p><b><font color="#330000">tar -zxvf nano-x.y.z.tar.gz</font></b>
<p><font color="#330000">If you get error messages about the -z option,
try this:</font>
<p><b><font color="#330000">gunzip -d nano-x.y.z.tar.gz | tar xvf -</font></b>
<p><font color="#330000">(again, where x.y.z is the version number in question).&nbsp;
Then you need to run configure with any options you might want (if any).</font>
<p><font color="#330000">The average case is this:</font>
<p><b><font color="#330000">./configure</font></b>
<br><b><font color="#330000">make</font></b>
<br><font color="#330000"><b>make install </b>(as root, of course)</font></blockquote>
<h2>
<a NAME="3.3"></a><font color="#330000">3.3. Why does everything go into
/usr/local?</font></h2>
<blockquote><font color="#330000">Well, that's what the <b>configure</b>
script defaults to.&nbsp; If you wish to change this, simply do this:</font>
<p><b><font color="#330000">./configure --prefix=/usr</font></b>
<p><font color="#330000">to put nano into /usr/bin when you run <b>make

<h2>

<blockquote><font color="#330000">Older versions of nano had this problem,

12 is recommended).</font></blockquote>
<h2>
<a NAME="4.4"></a><font color="#330000">4.4. Why does nano show ^\ and
^_ in the shortcut list instead of ^G and ^J?</font></h2>
<blockquote><font color="#330000">The help (^G) and justify (^J) functions
were among the last to be written.&nbsp; To show the improvements that
nano had over Pico (goto line # and replace), ^_ and ^\ were put on the
shortcut list.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you use the <b>-p</b> option to nano you
will get the same shortcuts at the bottom as Pico.</font></blockquote>
<h2>
<a NAME="4.5"></a>4.5 How do I make nano my default editor (in Pine, mutt,
etc)?</h2>
<blockquote>You need to make nano your $EDITOR.&nbsp; If you want this
to be saved, you should put a line like this in your <b>.bashrc</b> if
you use bash:
<p><b>export EDITOR=/usr/local/bin/nano</b>
<p>or if you use tcsh put this in your <b>.cshrc</b> file:
<p><b>setenv EDITOR /usr/local/bin/nano</b>
<p>Change /usr/local/bin/nano to wherever nano is installed in your system.&nbsp;
Type which nano to find out. This will not take effect until the next time
you login.&nbsp; So log out and back in again.
<p>Then on top that if you use Pine you must go into setup (type <b>S</b>
at the main menu), then configure (type <b>C</b>).&nbsp; Hit enter on the
lines that say:
<p><b>[ ]&nbsp; enable-alternate-editor-cmd</b>
<br><b>[ ]&nbsp; enable-alternate-editor-implicitly</b>
<p>Then exit (<b>E</b>) and select Yes (<b>Y</b>).
<p>Mutt users should see an effect immediately the next time you log in,
no further configuration is needed.&nbsp; However, if you want to let people
know you use nano to compose your email messages, you can put a line like
this in your <b>.muttrc</b>:
<p><b>my_hdr X-Composer: nano x.y.z</b>
<p>Again, replace x.y.z with the version of nano you use.

of personal preference as to which editor you should use.&nbsp; If you're
the type of person who likes using the original version of a program, then
Pico is the editor for you.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you're looking for a few more
features and a 'better' license as far as adding your own changes (sacrificing
mailer integration and a little stability), nano is the way to go.</blockquote>
<h2>
<a NAME="6.3"></a><font color="#330000">6.3. What is so bad about the PINE
license?</font></h2>
<blockquote><font color="#330000">Technically there is nothing "wrong"
with the U of W license for Pine and Pico.&nbsp; However, it is&nbsp; not
considered truly "free" according to the <a href="http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines">Debian
Free Software Guidelines</a>.&nbsp; The only real problem as far as I'm
aware as that there are limitations on the redistribution of programs based
on the Pine and Pico source.&nbsp;&nbsp; So at a real nitty gritty level,
these programs are not considered Free Software.&nbsp; This is why Pico
isn't distributed in binary form in debian, and hence one of the main reasons
nano was started.</font></blockquote>
<h2>
<a NAME="6.4"></a><font color="#330000">6.4. Okay, well what mail program
should I use then?</font></h2>
<blockquote><font color="#330000">Well, there is nothing stopping you from
using Pine with nano (or Pine with Pico for that matter).&nbsp; But if
you want to use programs that are considered Free Software, you may want
to look into <a href="http://www.mutt.org">mutt</a>.&nbsp; It is a full-screen,
console based mail program that actually has a lot more flexibility than
Pine, but has a keymap included in the distribution that allows you to
use the same keystrokes as Pine would to send and receive mail.&nbsp; It's
also licensed under the GPL.</font></blockquote>
<h2>
<a NAME="6.5"></a><font color="#330000">6.5. Why doesn't UW simply change

<blockquote><font color="#330000">You're really not asking the right person
here.&nbsp; I (Chris) waited along time to see if UW would change their
license because of the amount of high quality software being released and
developed under the GPL without being taken advantage of by malicious corporate
entities or other baddies, but no such luck so far.</font></blockquote>
<h2>
<a NAME="6.6"></a><font color="#330000">6.6. What if tomorrow UW changes
the license to be truly Free Software?</font></h2>
<blockquote><font color="#330000">Honestly nothing would make me happier
than to see that happen.&nbsp; Nano would continue to be developed independently
until such time as Pico had all the features nano did or the projects merged.&nbsp;
That just does not seem very likely given that there has been no sign of
any changes in the past few years in a positive direction.</font></blockquote>

development of nano.&nbsp; Here are links to where you can sign up for
a given list:</font><font color="#330000"></font>
<p><font color="#330000">nano-announce - <a href="http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/nano-announce">http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/nano-announce</a></font>

<h2>
<a NAME="7.2"></a><font color="#330000">7.2. I want to send the development
team a big load of cash (or just a thank you).</font></h2>
<blockquote><font color="#330000">That's fine.&nbsp; Send it <a href="mailto:nano-devel@lists.sourceforge.net">our
way</a>!&nbsp; Better yet, fix a <a href="http://www.asty.org/nano/dist/BUGS">bug</a>
in the program or implement a <a href="http://www.asty.org/nano/dist/TODO">cool
feature</a> and send us that instead (though cash is fine too).</font></blockquote>
<h2>
<a NAME="7.3"></a><font color="#330000">7.3. How do I submit a patch?</font></h2>
<blockquote><font color="#330000">See Section <a href="#7.2">7.2</a>.</font></blockquote>
<h2>
<a NAME="7.4"></a><font color="#330000">7.4. How do I join the development
team?</font></h2>
<blockquote><font color="#330000">The easiest way is to consistently send
in good patches that add some needed functionality, fix a bug or two and/or
make the program more optimized/efficient.&nbsp; Then ask nicely and you
will probably be added to the SourceForge development list and be given
CVS write after awhile.&nbsp; There is a lot of responsibility that goes
along with being a team member, so don't think it's just something to add
to your resume.</font></blockquote>
<h2>
<a NAME="7.5"></a><font color="#330000">7.5. Can I have CVS write access?</font></h2>
<blockquote><font color="#330000">Re-read Section </font><a href="#7.4">7.4</a><font color="#330000">
and you should know the answer.</font></blockquote>
