<p><span style="font-weight:bold">jed</span> is primarily a text editor; however, it can also edit binary files
(see the section on editing binary files). As a result, <span style="font-weight:bold">jed</span> 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.</p>
