File Types and Sizes
====================

   JED is primarily a text editor; however, it can also edit binary
files (see the section on editing binary files).  As a result, JED may
edit lines of arbitrary length (actually this depends upon the size of
an integer).  It is capable of editing arbitrarily large buffers as
long as there is enough memory for the buffer as well as the overhead
involved.  This editor employs a linked list representation; hence, the
overhead can be quite high.
