Requirements

Installation

Edit config.mk to match your local setup (sandy is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default). Optionally, create a config.h file to further configure the editor at compile time. An examples file is provided as config.def.h.

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install sandy (use root if needed):

make clean install

Running sandy

Use the following syntax:

sandy [-r] [-S | -s SYNTAX] [-t TABSTOP] [File]

Where: -a starts with autoindent -r opens the file read-only -S use no syntax colors at all. -s SYNTAX lets you specify the syntax colors for this file -t TABSTOP sets the tabstop for this instance of sandy

Name

In case you are wondering, sandy was the smartest pet ferret. She died of cancer though. We were sad and started coding this editor.
