[ below follows a description of the new features in the latest release of
FastEddie, a programmable text editor for the Macintosh of Cottage Software
in Austin. Please note, that Megamax Software licensed the right to
distribute this editor with their C-compiler now, which makes it a near
unbeatable deal.
The editor is also available in a demo-version including all features but
limited to small files only (size <6K chars). ARPAnauts can retrieve it
from the SUMEX-files or from NGP's FTP-directory ~ftp/public/FE-2.6.
If I receive enough requests, I may post it to mod.sources.mac or to
net.sources.mac (depending if the moderator or mod.sources.mac is willing
to distribute them).

Following is a listing of changes from FstEddie2.5 to FastEddie2.6:
% "changE spacing" in display menu changes lineheight
(<cmd><Shift>E decreases spacing, <cmd>E increases
it), "save oPtions" makes the last change the default
% standard clipboard now implemented
% stacked windows are now bigger (and more convienent)
% window title is now full path name
% All open files are now passed to any "transfer" program
% mmc auto error display with megamax C upgraded to HFS
% implicit transfer names (items > 12 in the file menu)
are disabled if they cannot be opened (thus preventing
any attempted open of a non existant file)
% changing fonts now tries to maintain size (previous
default was smallest size)
% Lineheight set to multiple of font (for better spacing)
% Auto indent copies both TABS and blanks (previously
it inserted blanks only)
% inserting blank before TAB moves TAB to next stop
% bug exterminated .. attempted synchronized scroll bombed
when there was only one window open
