announce: gnotepad+ v1.0

[Andy Kahn <kahn zk3 dec com>]

General Information
-------------------
gnotepad+ is an easy-to-use, yet fairly feature-rich, simple text editor for
Unix based systems running X11 and using GTK (the Gimp ToolKit).  gnotepad+ was
designed to have as little bloat as possible, while still providing many of the
common features found in a modern GUI-based text editor.  It is still fairly
light-weight, especially for the features it offers, and aims to remain that
way.

The "+" in gnotepad+ is there to differentiate it from other GTK-based text
editors which may call themselves "gnotepad".  Additionally, gnotepad+ is not
intended to be fancy, so it leverages its text editing capabilities on the GTK
Text Widget.  Hence, if you are looking for a programmers's editor, look for
another text editor or help improve the GTK Text Widget.


Requirements
------------
- A Unix-based operating system with X-Windows.
- The latest *stable* (not development) version of GTK correctly installed.
  If you do not have GTK, you can get it at http://www.gtk.org.
