Title: Notepad like software?
Post by: sim085 on July 06, 2009, 08:13:44 PM

Hi,

I am looking for a notepad like software for my workbench 3.1 installation. So far I found FrexxxEd and JanoEditor however JanoEditor seems only to work with a 68020 processor or higher! :(

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Sim085

Well I was more inclined for something available for free. If there isn't then it is no problem. I can manage to stay without it. I am just looking for software to make a complete installation.

try aminet.
Also, there's a notepad program on workbench 1.3 disk.  It works under 3.1 also.

I like plain old Ed that comes with WB.

Thanks to all for the suggestions. I'll try them all and see which one I like the most :) I think using the one on Workbench 1.3 may be the best solutions, but I'll still see what the others have to offer :) thanks again.

I bought a cool program called Notebook for the Amiga in the early 1990's. I tried to acquire the source code to it 6 or 7 years ago from Black Belt System but they said it was lost forever. They don't even have it for download on their Amiga archives.

Here's a demo of it you can taste.

EditPad that comes with 3.9 is pretty nice, but honestly I still just use plain old "Ed" for most of my text editing, as well.  Just old fashioned, I guess.  ;)

I always liked Az (http://aminet.net/package/text/edit/AZ154).

Wasn't Notepad the editor included with 1.3 that would utilize and print with the fonts that were included with WB?  Is that the important feature for you?  I don't remember any other free font-sensitive editors for Amiga other than the 'BIG' commercial editors (Final Copy/Writer, Wordworth, etc).

Plain vanilla editors are plentiful. I liked some of the ones mentioned so far, also Blacks Editor, and XDME (both on Aminet).  There was a new one that came out just a few months ago, feature-rich, small footprint, and runs in all flavors of classic (OS1.3 to 3.9).    EDIT: It was REDIT, recently included in the BetterWB compilation.  I haven't had a chance to try it yet.  :)
