SkoEd    1.14    A Programmer's Editor Revisited.

  Well, when I got my Amiga I found that there were no editors around that I
really liked.  Some were good and did quite a lot but they were not me.  So I
wrote SkoEd which is in may ways my personal preference.  SkoEd is by no means
the begin and end all of Editors; there are a number of areas which need
improving.  It is however at a stage that I feel can be released to the Amiga
community.

FEATURES


  Here is a list of what SkoEd can do.

    - Remaps keystrokes to commands.
    - Customisable.
    - Multiple Files.
    - Multiple Views of files.
    - Clones the WorkBench Screen and WorkBench Screen text font.
    - Set own Screen and Font.
    - Reads,Writes and Converts IBM format files.
    - A FAST Find/Replace.
    - Column Blocks.
    - Clipboard support.
    - AutoSave after time limit expires.
    - Folding.
    - Match {([])}.
    - Count number of braces {} in a file.
    - Word Completion. (I like this one :-)
    - Zoom/Explode of Views.
    - Memory file to remember files previously loaded and cursor location.
    - Unlimited Marks to allow you to go instantly to a marked location.
    - Undelete n Deletes. (n is setable)
    - Iconify.
    - Script file bit is handled correctly (and is settable).
    - AREXX
    - User Configurable Gadget Strip
    - And other, less obvious functions.

  Here are the areas I wish to improve.
    - A full macro language. (although with Arexx do I need this?)
    - A full Undo as opposed to Undelete (and Redo).
    - Repeat command.
    - Allow user to create own menu strips.
