Does anybody know where (anonymous ftp, ...) I can find a simple PD text editor which easily could be used by (almost) anybody? Thanks in advance Lars (lars_s@ldc.lu.se)

Or, if a shareware editor is ok, you should take a look at qedit208.zip. ...................................................................

I still find that the best PD editor is PC-Write by QuickSoft. It can be found on the SIMTEL20 archives (wsmr-simtel20.army.mil) in pd1:<msdos.editors>. It comes with documentation, a spell checker, a good help file, etc. Until I get emacs or SEDT running, I will only be using PC-Write. ------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Arnold Gill | | | Queen's University at Kingston | | | BITNET : gilla@qucdn | | | X-400 : Arnold.Gill@QueensU.CA | | | INTERNET : gilla@qucdn.queensu.ca | | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

You are expected to pay for it, and please do. Quicksoft has made many significant revisions to the package, and it is now as good as many more expensive wp packages. I would hate to see quicksoft stop their shareware marketing and up the price to pay for advertising and marketing due to people using the product and not paying. lance

But the point being made is with your terms, which are damaging, though not deliberately. The letters PD- Public Domain- should never be associated with the word shareware! Please! We've worked pretty hard to make it clear that shareware IS copyrighted and is NOT free, whereas lack of copyright is the very meaning of public domain. So please don't associate the two terms. That's the complaint, not your actual use of shareware, which is exceptional. Thanks for listening to a sharewaresmith rant on. (-: CRANBERRIES! ALBUQUERQUE!
