Anybody know of a good text editor that will work with davex? It doesn't have to be very fancy, sort of along the lines of UNIX's ed. I've tried brun-ing the ed program from anix but no such luck. ( had to try the simple solution first you know.) I've just started using davex and if I can find a decent text editor I'm gonna have to send in the shareware fee, cuz then I'll have no complaints about the system. ------- +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+ | Steve Drees | Can you feel the pain he feels as the nails go | | UD151606@NDSUVM1 | through his hands? -The Violet Burning | +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+

As far as I know, Dave has been shipping the FreeWriter text editor with Davex for more than a couple of years, now. It's in the % directory and can be launched with the command "fw". -- ============================================================================ Matt Deatherage, Apple Computer, Inc. | "The opinions represented here are Developer Technical Support, Apple II | not necessarily those of Apple Group.

Is there such a thing as a text editor that loads in only portions of the file you wish to work on, a la WordStar? I sometimes get massive ( > 512K) text files that I need to do simple editing on and none of my word processors can handle it, and I have 5 MB of memory with 4.25 MB on line (768K RAM disk). I've tried with AppleWorks, AppleWorks GS and MouseWrite. None can load such a file. Any comments or suggestions? Oh, yes I do split the file using List, but would rather not go through such machinations. -- / \ / / \\\' , / // ______________________________________________________ \\\//, _/ //, Laer Haider (lhaider@pro-beagle.cts.com) \_-//' / //<, /\\ (lhaider@pro-grouch.cts.com) \ /// <//` //\\\ / >> \\\`__/_ ///\\\\ My employer doesn't know who I am. /,)-^>> _\` \\\ ////\\\\\ The opinions expressed here belong to (/ \\ / \\\ // IIgs \\\ no person or group living or dead! // _//\\\ ------------------------------------------------------ ((` ((

Try microEmacs for the IIgs. It's packed as an exe file but you can use a
file change utility to make it a s16 program. Should work fine and is pretty
good... Also, it will load as big a program as you have memory (minus GS/OS
and uEMACS itself...)

I sometimes get The communications program, ProTerm has that capability. Suggest you try that.

A good, simple text editor that can be used with many shells is
Freewriter. It's a SYS file, which makes its use from some shells
inconvenient. It has most of the standard features (though the invocations
of some were designed by aliens on Callisto...)
It's in the listserv@brownvm.brown.edu; in files 88-00601 and 88-00604.
And it is, as one might expect, free.lhaider@pro-beagle.cts.com (Laer Haider) (09/27/90)

How would someone get it to work with text files about 300K in size? -- / \ / / \\\' , / // ______________________________________________________ \\\//, _/ //, ProLine: lhaider@pro-beagle \_-//' / //<, /\\ Internet: lhaider@pro-beagle.cts.com \ /// <//` //\\\ UUCP: crash!pro-beagle!lhaider / >> \\\`__/_ ///\\\\ /,)-^>> _\` \\\ ////\\\\\ The opinions expressed here belong to (/ \\ / \\\ // IIgs \\\ no entity(s), living or dead! // _//\\\ ------------------------------------------------------ ((` ((
