history
The application was first published on Usenet by Joseph Allen in 1989/1990 . The original program name was simply "e". From version 2.2 there is also a port for MS-DOS .
After the release of version 2.8 by Joseph Allen in 1995, development came to a standstill for several years. In 2001 a new group of enthusiasts, led by Marek Grac, resumed development, fixing many bugs and introducing a standardized build system . In 2004, the original author rejoined the project and released version 3.0, which introduced syntax highlighting and UTF-8 support.
