An example Frexx script...

OMG, when you said it was basically C, you weren't kidding. It's a thing of beauty! Is there a standalone interpreter for this?
int p; // A

So FrexxEd has nothing to do with rexx?
How confusing :)

Maybe, but that surely looks the scripting language syntax I always imagined I'd end up writing myself one day :) Basically, because it's C. Albeit with some nice datatypes not routinely found in C.

Btw - vim

Yep, vim was an amiga application, aiming to improve vi. Surprising how many linux people I know on that side of the vim/emacs divide that are unaware of this.

I'm also one of the very few (I think) that do anything with c:edit :)

I used it in a few scripts, rather like you'd use sed these days.

I remember one script that had to do a large number of different search/replace operations that I ended up running through several instances of edit via PIPEs and lots of dubious run >NIL: type stuff.

I have no idea what specifically I used it for, though :lol:
int p; // A

I remember trying to wrap my head around how it was supposed to work, but giving up :roflmao:

Never used it, but if it's that bad, I'll have to look into it :D

The AnalytiCalc spreadsheet, directly executable.  This version features operation with only one window, many "3 dimensional" sheet addressing primitives, and optional execution from icons.  Two images are furnished,
one for smaller and one for large internal storage (though both have software virtual memory if needed).  These images operate OK under AmigaDos 1.2, 1.3, and 2.0.  They include code allowing the spreadsheet to be
treated as a series of "pages" so that a cell has a row, column, and (optionally) page, and ranges can be in depth along pages as well as along rows or columns.  The mapping is flexible enough so that it can be used to facilitate computing traces of matrices if desired, as well as for more conventional use.

Wow, what could be simpler? :lol:

Mine was CED back in the day.  Loved that editor.


Ted was funny in the Blitz Basic IDE. I seem to recall it having some amusing macros.
