Someone mentioned T:EDIT the other day. I researched my old Analogs and Compendium and 8-bit Extra, but couldn't find the source. Anyone have a solid reference or the source I could get? Walt

T:EDIT was published in the May 1987 issue of Analog, pages 44-53.

But no source. Quote time: "Listing 1 is the BASIC data used to create TEDIT.COM file. For those of our readers interested in the assembly language source code of this program, the listing is available on the disk version of this magazine, or on the ANALOG Computing Atari Users' Group SIG on the Delphi network." That's what ANALOG is doing with most of its assembly lang. source codes lately. I used to look at these sources and learn to program in assembly from them. I also used some of their routines in my programs. Now I have to pay extra for them on disk or pay to use Delphi. ANALOG is slipping! But they will never catch the lack of quality that Antic now has. Antic is 1 bad publication! Tom

I can't say that about Analog. Especially bad was their Wheel of Fortune type of game from last December. I typed it in, tried to run it and ran into all kinds of problems. I went to the trouble of debugging it to the extend of my capability. I sent my notes and comments to them and talked to someone at their booth at the Summer CES, all to no avail. I never got a response, nor did I see any kind of correction information in any subsequent issues. I think the version that came on their disk was OK though, because there was one letter from a reader saying what a great program it was. I can guarentee you he didn't type it in from the magazine. In general, Analog's coverage of news in the industry seems to be better though, and they have more reviews. Kit Kimes AT&T--Information Systems Labs ...ihnp4!ihlpe!kimes

I just tried the text editor that someone posted recently (it's also available on terminator). I was really impressed by it, and I'd like to add a few features to it. I don't suppose anyone knows where I could find the source code, right? I know it was published sometime during the late Cretaceous period (1986 or so), and I realize that this makes it unlikely for anyone to know anything about it. Oh well, I always did like reverse-engineering object files... -Roy Wood.

Was this program published in any of the Atari magazines such as Antic, Analog or Compute! ? If so, I could look it up pretty easy since I have access to nearly every issue published. I would have to have a reasonable idea of where to look since I don't have an index of them. If you have an idea where it came from, I'll look.

I believe it was published in Analog. My Analog's are in storage while
preparing to move, so I can't be sure.

I believe that it was in an issue of ANALOG computing, or something
like that; the credits are on the T:EDIT screen on loading.
I'd certainly like to see an 80-column version of this editor (hint,
hint).

I'd like to whip up an 80-column text editor that is as small as possible so that the user has as much document space as possible. I'd also like it to take full advantage of whatever memory upgrades are installed. I don't know whether it would be easier to modify t:edit or write a new one from scratch. I suspect the latter would be best, though more work. -Roy Wood.

RE: 80 column editor - rework TEDIT or write new one? It would be much easier to write one from scratch. The time taken to disassemble and figure out TEDIT would be more than the time it would take to write one from scratch. If you decide to do it, and need help with memory upgrade stuff, just ask.
