Hi.
Here is a partial posting of GNOME, version 2.2.
I hope this will be the last version of GNOME for a while. :-)
For anybody new to this group: GNOME is a full-screen modeless
text editor based on "microEMACS". It is written in C and is
portable among most systems. GNOME is relatively small and
self contained, and is intended to be simple to learn and use
while including the most important features for its intended uses
for editing source code, data files, letters, and preparing text
for formatting in YAFIYGI ("you asked for it you got it") style
word processing (e.g. for TeX or troff):
Built-in help menus
Multiple files in RAM
Multiple (text) windows on the screen
Fast string search
Simple macro facility
Fast disk file I/O
Word wrap and paragraph reformatting
Search for complementing bracket
etc.
New, on the Atari ST: *** a DA version ***
This is a partial posting in that the source code (common to all
systems, compilable on UNIX, VMS, ST and MS-DOS) and the MS-DOS
executable (GNOME.EXE) are not here. The source code is over 200K
and GNOME.EXE is some 56K. To get them, send me $5 (US) (or more,
or several blank disks) and I'll send you a diskette. Please specify
disk format (ST or MS-DOS, 3.5" or 5.25").
The file "gnttp.uue" contains the ST executable GNOME.TTP,
the file "gnacc.uue" contains the ST desk accessory GNOME.ACC.
Both are ARCed and uuencoded.
For the benefit of the 300 or so people who got the sources
for version 2.1 through FTP or on a disk, I am also posting
and the file "dif21_22.arc" which contains the changes in the
source code as reported by "diff".
The file "gnome.tut" is a tutorial in case you have not
used GNOME before. Type "gnome gnome.tut".
