JED is a freely available text editor for Unix, VMS, MSDOS, OS/2, BeOS, QNX, and win9X/NT platforms. Although it is a powerful editor designed for use by programmers, its drop-down menu facility make it one of the friendliest text editors around.

Hence it is ideal for composing simple email messages as well as editing complex programs in a variety of computer languages. JED makes extensive use of the S-Lang library, which endows it with a powerful S-Lang macro language. This and other features of the library are discussed on the features page. To incorporate this syntax in your JED environment, add the lines from the to your 'defaults.sl' or 'jed.rc' (.jedrc) file. The instructions are also in the file.

Functions and procedures can now be 'folded' and the 'Reveal start' and 'Reveal end' menu items now work. Alan put some simple code to generate this, as well as some documentation and examples up on bitbucket: Move the to either: /Library/Application Support/TextWrangler/Language Modules/ or /Library/Application Support/TextWrangler/Language Modules/ If TextWrangler is open, quit and restart the application.

Installation is straightforward for Atom users, either: Enter `apm install language-ncl` at the command line. OR Search for `language-ncl` in the Atom package manager and click the install button.
