Is AZ1.54 wb2+ unfriendly or am I just really unlucky?

I never thought I'd have to go back to this old editor but it did everything I wanted it to back then so I thought I'd try it again.  Except it doesn't work anymore.  I could have sworn I used it on my old A2000 with wb3.1 but I can't get it to work under emulation or on my current A600 (also wb3.1).  

Maybe someone can recommend another small (<100K), multi file/window tab aware text editor - although I've been looking on various archives and can't find anything that comes up to par.

You should look out for GoldED or CygnusED. IMHO CygnusEd is the best text editor in the world. Both are commercial and are still being sold.

Nevertheless I just tried AZ in WinUAE 0.8.22R1 with OS3.9 and Picasso96 and it worked. Not in the first try though. Snoopdos said that isup.library could not be opened, although it is in the same directory as the program. To check the library I wrote a small program that just does an OpenLibrary() on the lib and writes out the version and revision. The library was ok. And once the library was loaded into memory, the editor worked without problems.

Interesting fix - thanks Thomas!  Actually, I did try loading it into monam and stepping through it.  Not far into it, the first time it calls Wait() that's all it does - wait.  

Now that I think of it, under emulation I've only tried running it on MacUAE so I'll try it on WinUAE too.  

--- edit ---

After that nod in the direction of the isup.library, I tried putting it in the actual libs: (duh!) and AZ fired up - but I'm certain it used to find it's isup.lib in its own directory.  Anyway, after all that it turns out that AZ isn't tab aware - what a pain!  I wonder what the barest minimum of tinkering with monam and a byte editor would be to make it deal with tabs...
