Great news! The patch applies to my current version of
NEdit (it's called nedit-5.5_p20090914 under GenToo)

Since I haven't compiled a newer version NEdit for a long time,
just two questions:

- I'm working on a AMD64 machine and I get quite a lot of
  warning because of casting to an int/pointer of different size.
  After a  short look at the source I think these are
  innocent (mostly casting a some user data of type (void*) to an int).
  Am I right?

- Is the option '-server' assumed to work?
  When I start NEdit with this option, it doesn't go
  into the backgroup (version 5.1.1 did)
  What am I missing?

Many thanks, it's like Christmas for me having
an up-to-date NEdit with my beloved cloning feature!

Helmut.
