Your Favorite Text-Editor..

[xeron]

A lot of people swear by GoldEd, which surely must be the most fully featured editor on the Amiga.

Personally, I reckon you can't beat the original (before a different author took over) version of Blacks Editor (the updates became unstable :-( ).

Why? Because:

* Its super fast! It doesn't have a custom GUI and excessive bells and whistles. Its a no-nonsense editor that is perfect for programming.
* Everything is scriptable, and every menu option is an ARexx command that you can change!
* It just gets the job done!

I don't know where you'll find the original now, I think Aminet only has the newer versions that are unstable here. I would make an archive from my installation, but its a bit heavily customised :-(

email me et pete@shagged.org and when I get home I'll try and make a sensible archive out of my hacked dir I think i got it on the cover of Amiga Shopper originally...

Actually, thinking about it, I have every Aminet CD going back to 22, i'll search there to see if the older version is on there... if its on 1 to 21, well, surely SOMEBODY here must have those CDs?

oops... misread something... ignore this post...

Okay, TextPad on Windows.

EditPlus is faster, and generally nicer.

Ed or edit on Amiga.

:lol: good one! (that was a joke, right? ;-) )
