Documentation
=============

* doc/oed.txt

Hints
=====

* tiny-regex-c requires + to be escaped in the following regex.

   OLD: s/^+/-/
   NEW: s/^\+/-/

* oed requires an address after the 't' command.
 Specify the current line with '.'

   OLD: /tea/t
   NEW: /tea/t.

* DOS doesn't really do pipes

   OLD: printf ",p\n" | ed TODO.txt
   NEW: echo ,p>input.txt
   NEW: oed TODO.txt <input.txt

   OLD: r ! ls -l
   NEW: !dir /lfn >tmp.txt
   NEW: r tmp.txt
