This is version 3.02.80 of the GNU implementation of the
POSIX stream editor `sed'.  The 3.02.XX (xx>=80) series is
the pre-release track for what will become sed-3.03.

Relative to 3.02, there are several small new features and some
bug fixes; see the NEWS file for a brief summary and the ChangeLog
for more detailed descriptions of changes.

See the file INSTALL for generic compilation and installation
instructions.

See the file BUGS for instructions about reporting bugs.

The file README.boot gives instructions for making a "bootstrap"
version of sed on systems which lack any pre-existing and working
version of sed.

The file djgpp/README contains instructions for building sed on DOS
based systems using the djgpp compiler and its associated tools.
Please note that the GNU project doesn't really care to support
closed proprietary OSes such as those from Microsoft, but is
providing these files on an as-is basis for the benefit of those
who can't help themselves.  While I will consider incorporating
simple bug fixes to these files, I am not willing to investigate
system-specific bugs on such systems; users of such systems will
have to do this themselves.
