-Introduction
-============
-
-sam is a text editor originally written for the Blit_ graphical terminal connected to a machine running `9th Edition Research Unix`_.
-It contained many useful innovations, the most famous of which was its use of `structural regular expressions`_.
-
-sam was the standard text editor for `Plan 9 from Bell Labs`_, and the Plan 9 version was backported to Unix and the X Window Sytem in the 1980s.

-
-New Features
-============
-
-Modern OS Support
- This version of sam compiles and runs on modern Linux systems.
-
-Improved 64-bit Support
- The original sam had support 32-bit architectures and big-endian 64-bit architectures.
- This version supports 64-bit architectures of any endianess (including, most importantly, x86_64).
-
-Scalable Font Support
- This version of sam is not limited to classic X fonts, but can use modern scalable fonts.
- Inconsolata_ is this author's favorite, though `Courier Prime Code`_ is giving Inconsolata a run for its money.
-
-Simplified and Dynamic Configuration
- The graphical elements (colors and fonts) of this version of sam are controlled via environment variables, not X Resources.
- The table of composable characters is now dynamically configurable (via the `~/.keyboard` file), where it was once hard-coded.
-
-Far Better Keyboard Support
- The cursor ("selection") can be moved using keyboard commands (a la the `WordStar Diamond`_).
- A keyboard command (ctrl-k) is provided to jump between the command window and the current file window.
- These commands are configurable at compile time (and more commands are in the works).
-
-Support for Two-Button Mice
- The original sam required a three-button mouse.
- This version is still easier to use with such a mouse, but can be used with a two-button mouse by simulating a button-3 press using shift-button-2.
-
-Support for Mouse Chords
- The snarf, cut, and paste commands are accessible via mouse-button combinations ("chords").
-
-Better Remote Editing Support
- This version of sam can use `ssh(1)` as its remote shell.
- Additionally, the B command works on both the local and the remote system during remote editing sessions.
-
-Command Language Extensions
- Various minor and mostly-compatible changes have been made to the sam command language.
- Most notable is the `b` command, which now performs a fuzzy match on filenames, making switching between files much faster and easier.
-
-Improved Manual Page
- The manual page has been rewritten to use the modern `mdoc(7)` manual page macros.
- It has been additionally cleaned up, clarified, and extended.
-
-Support for Tab Expansion
- When enabled, tabs will be expanded into spaces.
