In your .jedrc file, create function called c_set_style_hook that
takes the name of your c-style, e.g., "ratliff":

   require ("cmode"); % make variables used below visible
   define c_set_style_hook (name)
   {
      if (name == "ratliff")
        {
           % Customize
           C_INDENT = 3;
           C_BRACE = 2;
           C_BRA_NEWLINE = 1;
           C_CONTINUED_OFFSET = 2;
           C_Colon_Offset = 1;
           C_Class_Offset = 3;
           C_Namespace_Offset = 3;
           C_Macro_Indent = 3;
           C_Label_Offset = 0;
           C_Label_Indents_Relative = 0;
           C_Outer_Block_Offset = 0;
        }
    }

  Send them to me (jed@xxxxxxxxxxx) or to the list if you want feedback
  from the community.

  Please elaborate.

  When jed runs as xjed, it defines the processor symbol XWINDOWS:

#ifdef XWINDOWS
   % Xjed specific code here
#endif

Unfortunately, I have not had time to look at your patch.  I am aware
of it and hope to get to it soon.

No.  I wrote the RE function many years ago based upon a DEC Ultrix
man page about REs.   See
<http://www.jedsoft.org/slang/doc/html/slang-22.html> for additional
information.

Also slang supports two RE modules: PCRE and Oniguruma.  While they
may be used to match strings in slang code, their use will have no affect
on jed's internal regular expression searches.

I look forward to your patches.
Thanks,
