Pretty much that.
I need another one cause I currently using the Memacs version supplied with AmigaOS 3.1 :lol:
It's gonna be used to write progs.
-
cygnus ed
-
TurboText
:-D
-
perhaps vim is a good editor to use for programming.
it is now used on about every possible platform but it was original a piece of amiga software!
-
I used to use ANN (annotate), then used the micro/lite version of GED for a bit and now I'm back to good old ED :-).
-edit-
Woops, I wrote CED but I ment G(old)ED :-).
-
Both CygnusEd and Turbotext have a very high reputation from what I gather but they're shareware and not available...
ED...must admit I never tried it 8-)
-
The micro/lite/whatever version of GED is only 5EUR.
-
Not Workbench Ed surely?
I like EditPad myself.
There was a decent one available, but can I for the life of me remember what it was called? No. CygnusEd is the one real alternative. Came on an Aminet Set Cd, if I recall. Number...8. Or 7. Or 9.

@The power of the Ginger
"...Came on an Aminet Set Cd..."
The full version?
-
Blacks Editor
-
GoldED AIX!
Try it if you like a features packed editor. Maybe someday it will turn also in a complete IDE.
Now it exists also in a cut-down version for you ED fans! :-D
-
I like Pico, but I don't know if it's on Amiga. Maybe on a UNIX/LINUX capable Amiga maybe.
-
Hum,
i have the textviewer Evenmore 0.62 on my machine.
and use editpad, just for quick notes and editing webpages.
-
I liked TexEd mind you it won't run on anything over 020. Seems to have some cache bug code that chokes on the 040.
But I loved it because it could edit binary, search features and basic formatting and it was small!!
Oh yeah, and had no problems with LARGE files.
I used to hack Demos with it actually lol and other things. Shhhh it was just fun, never sold any of it and I learnt quite a bit.
Least I'm honest saying it.
-
CED. I use VIM on Win/Linux or EditPlus (I think that's the name) when I have to open veeeeeery large logfiles on Win.
-
My All time Favoiurite is Cygnus ED.
I started with TXed and Then went with TurboText but finished with CED.
Who Supports CED now, my Licensed Version 3.5 was from ASDG, Is there an upgrade?
Cheers

Funny that there are som many different opinions.
Maybe I wouldn't mind spending on it if it's cheap, where can one get Turbotext or Cygnus ED these days?
-
Jose,
TurboText has been released to the public by the author Martin Talin creator of Faery Tale Adventure, Music X , TurboText and others.
Someone here had a url to it on their site.
Cheers

EditPad rules for a quick edit. It's perfect for quick modifications of user-startup or startup-sequence files, especially if you are booting up from the emergency disk and need a reliable way of manipulating the mentioned files.
-
What text editor is the best in your oppinon?
MorhphED hands down.

@Jose
I used EdWord on the classic. Oh, how I loved that editor. It came with a personality, you know? ;-)
It did have the odd bug or two even in the final version, and development stopped a few years ago, unfortunately.
(Though I live by the old saying "save often, save early," so it worked okay for me anyway)
When I got my A1 a year ago, I was stuck with KEdit (KDE/Linux) for a bit more than half a year, for obvious reasons. It did get the job done, but wasn't capable of doing much more than what I absolutely required of it. (I.e. push key, have letter appear on screen.) Though I wasn't much of a fan of the other offerings available either, so I stuck with it for the time being.
Once I started running OS4 I quickly realized that I would need something a bit fresher, and started looking around for an alternative, I quickly came across Micro GoldEd, which is a really decent utility well worth the few pennies it costs to register.
Though do note that I'm not a developer, I just use it for simple text editing, and for that it's really excellent. Highly configurable, and starts behaving just like you want it to after an hour or two of customizing the keyboard layout and the other settings.
It's a 68k application, so it should run very well on all Amiga systems. At least it works here under OS4-pre, and it apparently works very nicely on MOS as well from what I hear.
For developers, the full version seems to offer quite a bit more useful stuff, something that I as a mere "push key - have letter appear on screen" type of user have no real need for. ;-)
I do believe that both versions are available as trial downloads on the author's site though, here (http://projects.dietmar-eilert.de/).
I don't know if they're "the best," but the Micro version sure as heck works like a charm for me, so I don't see any need to spend loads of time looking for other alternatives. It's in the very least very good.
-
BBEdit was my fave back in the day, but it looks like they only develop for the Mac now.
If you could find a copy of BBEdit for the Amiga though, you'd like it.
-
Easy - GoldEd Studio AIX.
-
I once used EdWord and thought it was pretty good. Now I'm quite happy
with a MUI text prog called pEditor_1.0a.
I heard the author of GoldEd was prosecuted once upon a time because
an earlier version formatted your RDB if it detected you were using a
pirate keyfile.
Anyone else hear this?

TurboText is included in the AmigaForever package.
:-D
-
CygnusEd
-
CygnusEd 4.22 PPC (MorphOs)
I used it since years (with lot of ARexx scripts) on my amiga "classic" too...
Otherwise GED AIX (aka MorphEd on Mos) seems a very good text editor !
-
Ok, I found the latest TurboText HERE (http://www.monkeyhouse.eclipse.co.uk/amiga/turbotext/) if anyone cares.
Haven't tried it yet, I installed EdWord meanwhile, but I will have to try it after having heard good about it for so long...
-
Thanks Jose!
I think TurboText is the best txt-editor
all time! I don't like the **** GoldEd or
**** CygnusEd. Crappy s**t!
-
FrexxEd is closest to my heart. :-)
I never programmed much with it but I do remember it was brilliant for editing large AmigaGuides.
-
I always used a nice little editor called "Edt"... It's lightweight, does all the normal stuff, and seemed to be a proper Amiga program that used all standard requesters, key shortcuts, etc., which I remember having a hard time finding.
GoldEd was pretty good too, but I found it too slow loading ISTR. EdWord was a close second but I remember not liking something about the way you had to copy & paste text.. I'm very picky about editors I guess... makes me wonder how I can stand to use vi all the time at work :-D
-
It's amazing how many text editors suck. My favorite is EditPlus2 (http://www.EditPlus.com), but it's only available for Windows.
Don't be fooled by its simplicity. It absolutely rocks (or it would, if it could parse PHP Here Documents syntax. That's about the only feature request I have for it!)
-
GoldEd was pretty good too, but I found it too slowloading ISTR
If you don't have requirements beyond normal editing (but want folding, undo, macro recording and high configurability), try microgolded (http://golded.dietmar-eilert.de/golded/files.htm). It starts in half a second on my UAE setup and instantly on MorphOS.
GoldED, which starts in a second, can be made to start instantly with the "Editor Resident?" menu: it will remain loaded/windowless after closing the last text. If you type "golded:ed ", the resident editor will become active again instantly. You can also activate it with the hotkey. It can be pre-loaded (without window) in s:user-startup. Another way to reduce startup time is to activate the image cache.
Btw, what does ISTR mean (probably not International Society for Third-Sector Research)?
-
Another vote for CygnusEd.
-
Isn't anybody going to vote for SYS:C/edit?
Shame on you all :lol:
(actually it is pretty nifty once you figure out how to write macros for it....)
-
CygnusEd all the way... apart from it not handling graphiccard modes all that well in some versions and the fact that it can "only" take 4000 letters a line (should be enough for most though) it's the best thing out there. I've even edited binary files with it. :)
-
I heard the author of GoldEd was prosecuted once upon a time because an earlier version formatted your RDB if it detected you were using a pirate keyfile.
I heard the author of GoldED once went back through time after he found out that his custom rendering code was faster than the speed of light. Kids, this is an important message from Dietmar: Don't drink Alcohol ;) A note for software pirates: it's perferctly safe to steal GoldED, any version. No malicious code contained. But you know in your big, good hearts that stealing software is bad, don't you?
-
Janoeditor or if I am at an unix pico/nano.
Remmeber that beta version of janoeditor where you could make it the WB-background?8-)
-
AZ text editor works for me
