[comp.sys.amiga] TxEd Plus comments/recommendation wanted

sutela@tucos.UUCP (Kari Sutela) (09/20/89)

I'd like to receive any comments about TxEd Plus, as I've been thinking of
purchasing it (and thus replacing dme). Mostly, I'd like to hear about its
ARexx-port and configurability. How good are they? Can one issue ARexx-commands
to TxEd at any time (from a separate Rexx-program possibly)? Can one remap
any key? etc. BTW, how compact is it? I have heard good things about CED Pro,
but I don't want my editor to eat 200k of memory. Any other comments are wel-
come, too.

Thanks in advance,

I've used TxED Plus, I like it. It's small (24K + ~15K for arp.library 
if you don't normally use arp.library) and it's REXX implementation is
nice. It doesn't have 8 zillion commands to get in your way so you are
pretty comfortable using it quickly. And the use of REXX as a macro language
makes it very configurable.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
