| 10 | ALBANY, NY - March 22, 2001 - The GNU nano development team |
| 11 | today released version 1.0 of their flagship (and only) product, the |
| 12 | GNU nano text editor. GNU nano brings a friendly and intuitive editing |
| 13 | environment to users of Unix(1)-like operating systems. |
| 14 | "We have worked very hard to provide a solid and easy to use |
| 15 | editor for both the casual and power user. With version 1.0, users |
| 16 | can expect a completely bug free and emotionally fulfilling text editing |
| 17 | experience (2)," blurts Chris Allegretta, program maintainer. "GNU nano |
| 18 | follows in the software industry's rich tradition of 'point-zero' releases |
| 19 | which contain absolutely no bugs whatsoever." |
| 20 | GNU nano has won the highly coveted "Best Pico clone whose name |
| 21 | begins with 'n' and ends with 'o'" award two years in a row. More |
| 22 | fictional awards are expected to be awarded soon. |
| 23 | The GNU nano development team is located throughout the United |
| 24 | States, Canada and Europe. For more information, please visit their web |
| 25 | site at http://www.nano-editor.org or email nano@nano-editor.org. The |
