Hi,

Anyone know of a decent free text editor ?

I used to have Cygnus Ed, but have no idea where the floppy would b these days.

Can't handle that WB 'Ed' program, it's annoying.

Before getting GoldEd, I used Black's Editor and found it pretty good, the latest version is free, the author only asks you to send him a post card.

You'll need:
ftp://de.aminet.net/pub/aminet/text/edit/BlacksEditor.lha
and
http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/aminet/aminet/text/edit/BedUpg_Pack1.lha

Another option is TurboText which has recently been released as freeware, more information here:

I used to use Blacks Editor all the time, but it doesn't work on OS4. I switched over to a modified JanoEditor (JE is opensource), but now its OS4 native too, which is nice.

If you like CygnusEd, you will love MicroGoldEd, it's simple but powerfull texteditor, it's about 10 euro only (or so)... try it and support it!

It’s good to here that another one of my must have applications is being updated for OS4.

@xeron

BlacksEditor seems to be working on OS4/µA1 for me. Where does it
crash for you? Maybe it's a version issue.

I always used Turbotext and it mostly works on OS4. However, the
"Find/replace" editing functions crash so I switched to BED because
it is very similar to TurboText. In fact, when I first discovered
BED I thought it was a "TurboText" knockoff. Even a lot of the ARexx
commands are the same.

I just wish Martin would release the source to Turbotext so someone
could at least fix the 68k version to work completely on OS4.

He'll galdly release the sources, but they're written in some obscure modula2 dialect, so no point i doing that. I would've loved an OS4 version of TurboText...

BED can't load config files for me, it gives an error on every single line of the config file. It doesn't matter now, since I'm used to JanoEditors excellent tabbed window. I just changed the menu keys to be more like BlacksEditor... although you have to do that in the source code and rebuild it with JE.

Great news.   And, good luck on your coding.

Do you have a feature list, or new feature list?
