NEW PROGRAMMABLE EDITOR EMULATES EMACS, VI,
AND MOST OTHER EDITORS
Brockton, MA -- A new programmable editor for the IBM PC
that can emulate EMACS, VI, and most other editors has been
introduced by Agranat Systems, Brockton, MA.
Called Infinitor (TM), the advanced ASCII editor and text
processing utility is designed to give programmers unprecedented
creative power, speed and flexibility in performing standard and
unique editing tasks.
The TPL Text Processing Language (TM) allows users for the first
time to emulate their favorite editors or the ones they use at
work. Moreover, users can actually add the features of one
editor to another editor simply by writing a TPL program.
Infinitor comes with EMACS and VI emulations. Other editors
can be easily emulated by writing TPL programs.
The sophisticated Text Processing Language also allows users to
perform complex text processing functions like macro translation.
They can, for example, create a file with user-defined macros and,
with a keystroke, expand it into the actual compiler-readable
program.
By writing a TPL program, users can compile while still inside the
editor ... look at a file in one window, look at an error in another
window and move to the next error with a keystroke. Users can
customize on-line references and commands, execute DOS commands from
inside the editor, and create new interactive editing functions.
Infinitor comes with 17 TPL programs; individual users create their
own additional programs for any number of tasks.
The new programmable editor also features an ultra-flexible
windowing system called Nimble Windows (TM), which allows users to
run 10 editors simultaneously, each with its own window and file.
The Nimble Windows design makes it easy to switch back and forth
between files, change the size and position of a window and pop a new
file into a window at will. Users can select, size and position
windows at a keystroke and split windows vertically or horizontally
to work on two parts of the same file.
The novel windowing system allows programmers to cut and paste
between files quickly, without shuffling between files, scrolling
between file parts and repeating keystrokes. With Nimble Windows,
users can, for example, simultaneously examine and modify source
and insert files without exiting or reentering the editor and edit
two parts of the same file without scrolling back and forth.
The new Infinitor Programmable Editor also features keyboard macros,
unlimited file size, on-the-fly keyboard re-configurations,
automatic indenting, block manipulation, search and replace, restore
line and on-line help.
The program requires and IBM PC or equivalent with at least 384K
memory. Infinitor comes on a 5.25 inch diskette, complete with
172 page documentation and Quick Reference Guide for $150. The
program is not copy protected.
The Infinitor Programmable Editor is available from:
