### libtecla-1.3.2 README file

    This is version 1.3.2 of the tecla command-line editing library.

    For the current official release, please direct your browser to:

      http://www.astro.caltech.edu/~mcs/tecla/index.html

    The tecla library provides UNIX and LINUX programs with interactive
    command line editing facilities, similar to those of the unix tcsh
    shell. In addition to simple command-line editing, it supports recall
    of previously entered command lines, TAB completion of file names, and
    in-line wild-card expansion of filenames.  The internal functions
    which perform file-name completion and wild-card expansion are also
    available externally for optional use by programs, along with a module
    for tab-completion and lookup of filenames in a list of directories.

    Note that special care has been taken to allow the use of this library
    in threaded programs. The option to enable this is discussed in the
    Makefile, and specific discussions of thread safety are presented in
    the included man pages.

    For instructions on how to compile and install the library, please see
    the INSTALL file, which should be in the same directory as this file.
