I haven't written an editor as an external command; I might sometime, but it would be a bit crippled, since there isn't a whole lot of RAM left for external commands to use. I usually use FreeWriter for quick editing tasks; I believe FreeWriter is still in the public domain (not sure about FrEdWriter). It's a SYS file, so it doesn't technicall run _under_ Davex the way external commands to, but it's fairly small, so it loads quickly. >I would almost be tempted to write one myself if I knew how to make >it interact properly with davex. The documentation I downloaded >mentions an appendix which gives such info, but I couldn't find it. That appendix is usually left out of the uploaded package just because it's big and most people won't want it. It's always on the disk that registered users get, and I'm happy to send it to anybody who's interested. I'll e-mail you a copy if I can get your address to work, John; otherwise send me your U.S. mail address and I'll mail you a disk. >John Terranova | What the hell do I know? | I'm not a Computer Science > CS, BS to be | I come from Waunakee! | undergraduate, but I play >-------------------+---------------------------+ one at school. >ARPA: jct%geowhiz.uucp@spool.cs.wisc.edu +------------------------------ >BITNET: jct%geowhiz.uucp%spool.cs.wisc.edu@vms3.macc.wisc.edu >------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --David A.

Anyone know if a) the source for freewriter is available and b) if anyone has made a mod to freewriter so that a command line shell could pass the file name to load on the comand line? -- Larry W.
