I'm writing (with other people) a programming environment for a functional language on the Macintosh. We'd like to be able to edit large files using a builtin editor. We can't use MPW as we can't give that away to students and other interested parties. Result: I have to write a (simple) point and click editor for the Mac. Using TextEdit is a problem because of the 32000 character limit. Is it feasible to invisibly concatenate multiple TextEdit objects, or must I write a simple TextEdit replacement. Hints, example code, anything would be welcome. Figuring out how to do it all by myself would take a lot of time, which I can't spare unfortunately. Ge' Weijers Faculty of Math. and Comp. Sc.

Hi there, If you want a good text editor for the mac, get Medit from Stanford (ftp to 10.0.0.56, or the other one). It is shareware, and might be what you are looking for. Have fun. .........Nigel ################################################################### # Nigel Rea # Hewlett Packard laboratories # # wnr@uk.ac.ukc.hplb # Filton Road # # wnr@uk.co.hp.hpl # Stoke Gifford # # wnr@hpl.hp.com # Bristol BS12 6QZ # # +44 272 799910 x.24197 # England # # fax 44,272,790554 # # ###################################################################
