cfte - Compiles fte config files
SYNOPSIS
cfte sourcefile [destfile]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the cfte.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others), because the original program does not have
a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in html format; see below.
cfte compiles the .fterc binary for fte(1) from human readable sources. Example of these source files can be found at
/usr/share/doc/fte/config-example.tar.gz.
EXAMPLES
cfte /usr/share/doc/fte/config/main.fte
compiles the example config tree to fte-new.cnf
cfte main.fte ~/.fterc
compiles the main.fte (in current directory) to ~/.fterc
FILES
~/.fterc
Default Configuration file. Includes All keybinding and menus compiled with cfte from config files in /usr/share/doc/fte/con-
fig/main.fte. There is a sample .fterc in /etc/fte/system.fterc.
*.fte Configuration sources. The syntax of these files is explained in /usr/share/doc/fte/contents.html.

fte - Text editor
SYNOPSIS
fte [[options] files ...]
xfte [[options] files ...]
vfte [[options] files ...]
nfte [[options] files ...]
sfte [[options] files ...]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the fte.
Some detailed documentation is available html format, see below.
fte is a powerful text editor which closely resembles Borlands programming editors for M$-DOS, but is far more flexible and configurable.
OPTIONS
fte uses a command line syntax, which is a little bit different from most of Debian GNU/Linux apps.
-h -? --help
Help on command line options.
-! Ignore any external configuration file and use internal configuration.
-l<line>[,<column>]
Go to line (and column) in next file on command line.
-#<line>[<,column>]
Same as -l. Do not use this option.
-m[<mode>]
Set mode for next files to <mode>. If just plain -m, then use default mode.
-C[<.cnf>]
Use specified configuration file (compiled). Plain -C does the same as -!.
-D[<.dsk>]
Load/save desktop from file <.dsk>. If no argument, disable desktop load/save.
-H[<.his>]
Load/save history from file <.his>. If no argument, disable history load/save.
-T<tagfile>
Load 'tagfile' at startup.
-t<tag>
Lookup tag 'tag' and display file containing it.
-- The rest of the arguments are not options, but filenames.
-+ The next argument is not an option even if starting with a '-'. Useful when loading files that begin with a -.
-noi18n
Do not use locales in xfte - useful if you have incorrect locales.
-noxmb Do not use XMB functions in xfte - useful if you have incorrect locales and you want to use just english fonts.
-font Select XWindow font to use with xfte. See VIOFONT also.
ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES
This is list of variable which might change behavior of some internals of fte.
VIOFONT - select font used by xfte
ISOCONSOLE - when set, vfte is usign ascii symbols to draw tables. This is useful when iso latin charset is used on console.

fte -mBIN -+ -bla-
load file -bla- in BIN mode
fte -l100,30 win.c
