Need more info on installing. the c statements run but nothing works.
Where do I instal it? I get this message when I run the program?
mickeyw@mickeyw-Meerkat:~/pipedit-code/trunk$ pipedit.bin README
config_path=>./pipedit.cfg<
Could not open language file >/home/yourname/.pipedit/langfiles/pipedit.en<, aborting..
mickeyw@mickeyw-Meerkat:~/pipedit-code/trunk$
Where do I install it? Does it need to be in my path?
Need more instructions?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Wherever you want it to be. Maybe in your home/bin or system-wide in /usr/local/bin, then placing the language files into /usr/local/share/pipedit... just a suggestion.
Does it need to be in my path?
Only if you want to run it without specifying the path to it.
Need more instructions?
I think yes, the README should say that you need to tweak pipedit.cfg (I'd personally suggest to place the file either wherever you have the language files or in your home directory.
According to the source you likely will export PIPEDITCFG=/path/to/pipedit.cfg if you want to run it from any folder.
Also you may want to run the shell script pe instead of using the full length binary path.
Those are the things I think to be the most important parts missing in the README.

Updated README and README.TXT.
Thanks Mickey for reporting and Simon for your suggestion :)
Edit:
And removed README.TXT, no need to have both README and README.TXT with the same content.
