Which text editors out there support AREXX? Are any there any PD? If they are commercial, please include the publisher and their phone number. Thank-you, Tal Lancaster

I believe that QED has full AREXX support.... it's shareware. I'm sure that there are a number of others in shareware and commercial but I have not heard of one that is PD yet. Sorry that I can't swear to any other titles... but QED is a favorite among a lot of Amigans. -Mike-

Editors with ARexx support I know :
CygnusEd from ASDG (commercial)
TxED from ? (?)
TurboText from ? (commercial, I think it is not available yet, there
is a demo on fish and ab20.larc.nasa.gov)
LSE from SAS (commercial, included with SAS C compliler)
There are probably many others

TurboText may not be shipping yet, but there is a demo (mostly functional) on the Fish, AB20, and MRCserv. Sorry, but I don't have the phone numbers for any of the publishers handy. I suspect that there may be other editors with ARexx ports, but I'm not aware of them. Disclaimer: I own TxEd+ but wouldn't buy it today if I had to make the choice again. I would probably go with CygnusEd (aka CEDPro). -- .../Ed Preferrred: Ed.Wilts@BSC.Galaxy.BCSystems.Gov.BC.CA Ed Wilts Alternate: EdWilts@BCSC02.BITNET (604) 389-3430 B.C.

mg3 is PD, and comes with some of the most complete ARexx support
available. DME is PD, and has ARexx support.

CygnusEd Professional by Cygnussoft Software supports AREXX. It is published by ASDG Inc, 925 Stewart, Madison WI, 53713. A VERY good editor!

I think DMe from Matthew Dillon has got a ARexx support, and the CygnusEd Editor from Cygnus Software hast got a ARexx interface, too. When you need the completly adress, I can send you a E-Mail.

I wrote a talking interface for the blind based on Cygnus Ed and AREXX - but didn't finish it. The number there is (608)273-6585.

The editor also supports drag-select with the mouse, multiple windows, cut/copy/pst between windows, printing. Much work placed into the user interface...most things can be done with no "keyboard" commands. TEXTRA is written in JForth and is freely distributable. You can reach me via e-mail or at: P.O.

I had already put CygnusEd on my list of things to buy when I discovered it has a nasty habit of silently truncating WordPerfect files. I assume it doesn't like the high-order bits WP uses for formatting. This ruled it out for me, but otherwise it's a real nice editor. -- --Danford P.

And don't forget the recently-released TurboText from Oxxi. TTX has
a great ARexx interface, and you can remap any key on the keyboard to
execute any arbitrary ARexx command string.... leads to some interesting
possibilities. The interface is much better than CygnusEd's hokey one....

The interface is much better than CygnusEd's hokey one.... I second this recommendation. The ARexx interface is extremely well thought out and logical. Not only do the commands have logical, easy-to-remember names, but the return values are what one would expect/want. The other text editors I have tried which support ARexx have been lacking in this regard; they have offered a simple method of sending commands to the editor, but retrieving information about the document or editor state has been of a limited nature. I have had no such problems with TTX. Also, the manual is very good. -- Kari Sutela sutela@polaris.utu.fi

This sounded strange to me, so last night I tried loading up several WordPerfect files I had lying around. They're not too big, and don't do a lot of fancy stuff, but I always got the whole thing. Do you have a current version of CygnusEd? It should be capable of reading anything at all, regardless of high bits or whatever. In fact, you can even read executable binary files and patch them.

CEDPro only has two real limitations ;-) : maximum length of a line : 1024 chars maximum views: 10 So, if you have a WP document with textblocks greater than 1024 chars, you run into problems. Such huge textblocks often occur in wordprocessors, if a line doesn't end with CR. -- Wolf Faust cbmvax!cbmehq!cbmger!venus!wfaust Tel: +(49)69-5486556 FIDO: 2:243/43.5

Hi folks, I don't know if someone already mentioned it, but I've got a version of MicroGnuEmacs called mg3beta4 wich enables you to use REXX with it. Among the applications with supplied rexx scripts, the possibility to compile the source files without quiting the editor, getting back the error messages in another buffer. Of course it's more usefull for people being used to Gnu Emacs, but it seems worth being used by evrybody. (Note : if anybody knows of a newer release tha mg3beta4 which was in the fish disks, please let me know...) // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ FROM: OLIVIER BERGER UNIVERSITE DE BORDEAUX I Administrator of the Bordeaux LICENCE D'INFORMATIQUE User Group of Scientific Students berger@geocub.greco-prog.fr // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/ \X/
