GoldED    2.2.0    A VERY nice shareware text editor

The basic design goals of this editor were to make it  as  user  friendly  as
possible. And make it as fast as possible. A lot of attention has been put to
the general look & feel, performance considerations and full support  of  the
Amiga  OS. The whole design is based on OS2.x/3.x, a fast CPU, sufficient RAM
and a hard disk. The  makers  of  GoldED  neither  cared  much  about  memory
consumption  nor  did  they  pay  attention to OS1.3 compatibility since this
would have meant to make concessions to speed or general handling.
