- Hello to all from a Neophyte Usenetter!! It's great to be
- able to communicate and exchange info with other st-users. I want
- to be on the record as saying that the ST is the best computer
- around (for its price of course).
I agree.
- Now to my question: Does anyone know of a good text editor
- that can be used as a desktop accessory? I have TOS 1.2 on a
- 520stfm w/ 1meg of ram. It does not have to be loaded with options
- - I will be using it to edit configuration files primarily. I
- have tried spirit-ed by it seems to lock-up frequently.
I must recommend STeno, but if you don't want to spend the $30 list
for STeno and STalker, there's also a pretty good PD text editor
called Notepad. I'm not sure if it's at atari.archive though. I
think there's also something called Diary which I've heard is pretty
good.

I have tried spirit-ed by it seems to lock-up frequently. I use Moshe Braner's GNOME (Generally Not the Original MicroEmacs). In the UK it's available at the National Public Domain Software Archive at Lancaster: uk.ac.lancs.pdsoft (login as pdsoft with password pdsoft). I don't know about elsewhere. It will run as an accessory or a program. It can also be compiled for MS-DOS and Unix. Moshe used to provide a floppy with the latest version on for a small handling charge, I don't know if he still does. He is/was e-mailable as braner@batcomputer.tn.cornell.edu Leila -- Leila Burrell-Davis, Computing Service, University of Sussex, Brighton, UK Tel: +44 273 678390 Fax: +44 273 678470 Email: leilabd@syma.sussex.ac.uk (JANET: leilabd@uk.ac.sussex.syma)
