Title: A NotePad for OS 3.1 ??
Post by: melott on January 23, 2005, 06:17:35 PM

Anyone know of a good notepad for OS 3.1 like OS 3.9
notepad?
I've gone back to OS 3.1 because of the warm-reboot
problem I was having with OS 3.9.
But I really miss the notepad, I used it more than I
realized.
I can't seem to get the OS 3.9 Notepad to work under
OS 3.1 so I'm looking for a good alternative.

Any suggestions (Aminet please)??

I think there is one called WordPad that looks 10 times better than the NotPad in 3.9 and it uses MUI too so you can make it look nice.

@melott:

MEmacs in the Tools-drawer is actually rather competent.

What about Dietmar Eilert's excellent GoldED?

Call me old school, but I still LOOOOOOVE CygnusED.  A must-have Amiga util for the past 15 years, or so.  :)

Janoeditor.
There was an old version that you could run as backdrop in WB, that was cool and confusing!!! 8-)

Could somebody put up a screenshot of CygnusED? I just realized, I could use a good editor too, but I'm still in 3.9.

I already have CygnusED .. athough an older version.
(It doesn't do HiRes screens.. Bummer)

Anyway CED is more editor than I was looking for.
I found a nice little editor very much like OS 3.9 NotePad
on Aminet... called 'FreeED', does about the same as
NotePad. Good for cutting and pasteing.

Thanx..

@melott:

Have you tried promoting it to your preferred screenmode with a promoting utility, such as NewMode (http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/~aminet/util/cdity/NewMode_V39.lha)?

@Patrik

'NewMode'
I just D/L'ed it and tried it on CygnusED.
This is 'Great'. I hadn't heard of NewMode before
but now, with all the older software I have, it
will get alot of use.

Thanx ;-)
