Best alternative to WB3.1 "Ed" text editor?
« on: November 28, 2008, 04:15:08 AM »
Hi,

I'm trying to find a replacement for the (next to useless!) "Ed" command that comes with WB3.1...

I don't want a massive bells-and-whistles editor, just something simple that supports full-screen editing - maybe with find/replace and 'standard' windows-like CTRL-C/X/V

One look at the available files on Aminet and I'm at a loss of which to choose, so any opinions would be welcome!

Cheers,

Mike.

Well guys, many thanks for the suggestions...

I've tried out most of the ones you listed.

And the winner is......

JanoEditor!!!

@stefcp2, I owe you a beer! :-)

It seems to be the quickest to load, uses minimal RAM and has a great set of features, without being too overblown...

Highly recommended!

... now I can finally get down to giving my User-startup a good thrashing! :-)

Cheers,

Mike.
