Taken from the EdWord Professional (http://www.ai.sri.com/~reddy/edword/) website:
"As of January 2003, the full source code for EdWord is available for free download (released under the GNU Public License). This release is thanks in a large part to Magnus Johnson, who helped me copy files off of my old AmigaDOS disks now that I no longer own an Amiga. Thanks Magnus! Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to locate the disk with the latest source code on it, so in the meantime I have provided the sources for the latest version that I have managed to recover.
EdWord was written using GFA Basic, so the source code is provided as a .GFA file. This is a binary file that only GFA Basic can read (it contains various inlined binary code for things like bitmaps and machine code implementations of certain critical functions). I will also provide ASCII versions where possible, though these will not include the binary sections."

Looks like a good editor, I hope the ASCII code for it is up soon. I don't have GFA basic, so I can't make head or tail out of the code now.

I hope you don't seriously consider using an editor written in BASIC ?! Use google, there are various excellent Amiga editors with C source code available, such as FrexxED.

Who cares? According to the screenshots, it looks very good. :-o GFA never came into my hands, but I can tell you that AMOS couldn't make these nice Workbench based programs. GFA Basic was infact a BASIC compiler if I'm not mistaken
