Installation instructions as provided by Alexander Kriegisch.

The installation is the almost identical for Win95 and NT:

You need:
  - The newest download of NEditMV/NT (the one with the included "user" 
    subdirectory)
  - An X server (NEdit is still an X program). I use Exceed, but it was 
    reported that NEdit also works with Xreflection and MI/X, the latter 
    being free software. Some people wrote that MI/X was quite slow on 
    their systems, but I am content with Exceed. It performs well.


What you have to do (I will explain the Exceed variant):
  - Install Exceed (if not done already), e.g. to C:\exceed.
  - Unpack the NEdit ZIP file, e.g. to c:\nedit.
  - Copy (or move) all files from c:\nedit\user to c:\exceed\user. Those 
    files correct key symbols which otherwise would cause problems with 
    NEdit (e.g. you would not have cursor functional keys). Using other 
    X servers, you have to change the keyboard settings yourself, 
    because I do not know how to do that.
  - Copy your .nedit and .neditmacro files to c:\nedit.
  - Insert the command "set home=c:/nedit" (note: slash, not backslash!)
    into autoexec.bat (on NT systems you would add it to the 
    environment via Desktop properties).
  - If you have NEdit-related X resources, copy them to 
    c:\exceed\user\xrdb.txt (file might not exist yet).
  - Restart you computer (just to be on the safe side).
  - Create a link to c:\nedit\nedit.exe.
  - Start NEdit.
