21 <blockquote>The nano project was started because of a few problems with
22 the wonderfully easy-to-use and friendly Pico text editor. GNU nano features:
24 <table BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 WIDTH="100%" NOSAVE >
28 <font>Autoconf support.</font></li>
31 <font>Truly free license (GNU GPL). </font></li>
34 <font>Goto-line# command w/o flag. </font></li>
37 <font>Case sensitive search function. </font></li>
40 <font>Interactive search and replace. </font></li>
43 <font>2/3 - 1/8 size of Pico binary.</font></li>
48 <font>Slang and ncurses support.</font></li>
51 <font>Autoindent abillity.</font></li>
54 <font>Displayed tab width option. </font></li>
57 <font>Regular expression search and replace. </font></li>
60 <font>Toggles for cmdline flags via Meta keys. </font></li>
63 <font>Tab completion when reading/writing files.</font> </li>
68 <p>The main disadvantage is lack of mailer integration, but this is also
69 a strength. GNU nano aims to emulate Pico and perhaps provide extra
70 functionality. </blockquote>
