I was under the impression that the consensus was to stick with "nedit"
rather than change to "NEdit". The OP was looking for a (familiar)
package called "nedit", which is another good reason for sticking with
that name.
Basil: if you want nedit quickly for FC4, I'd suggest downloading the
FC3 package and then using "yum localinstall nedit-whatever.rpm" to
install it. That should pull in any compatibility libraries that may be
needed.
