- DESCRIPTION
-
- Textra is the User-Friendly text editor for the Amiga.
- It contains a fully-Intuitionized GUI as well as an
- ARexx interface with 50+ commands. The package
- interfaces with the WB2.0+ asl font requester,
- supports multiple windows with cut, copy and paste
- between them. Undo and Drag-select with left mouse
- button, background printing and ARexx script exec-
- ution, user-settable preferences which can be saved,
- all supported. The editor displays fast text and
- continuous-movement vertical and horizontal scroll bars.
-
- The package contains full, detailed documentation,
- 30+ Arexx scripts (including an interactive tutorial)
- and a hard disk installer program.
-
- Scripts are provided to integrate Textra with
- JForth Professional 3.x, HSPascal and Paul Kienitz's
- Q-Blue Offline Mail Reader program.
-
- NEW FEATURES
-
- Textra 1.14 sports a status line indicating current
- cursor position or select range location. The ARexx
- requester is improved, allowing 10 strings, utilizes
- additional function keys for single-key launching.
- All alphabetic keys, as well as the HELP key, are now
- user-configurable; each may be bound to any Textra script
- or internal Textra command via the CTRL key. Double-
- clicking any ( ) < > [ ] { } character locates the
- balancing character (forward searches conducted for
- balancing double-quote characters). User-definable
- startup ARexx script is checked for at launch.
- Increased system fault checking. More menu key
- equivalents. New ARexx commands & scripts.
- Bug fixes.

-
- DISTRIBUTABILITY
-
- Unregistered versions of TEXTRA are freely distributable.
-
- OTHER
-
- An earlier version (v1.11) is distributed with JForth
- Professional 3.x. This release of Textra is backward-
- compatible with that version.
-
- This re-posting corrected a format error in the LZH header,
- possibly caused by the original poster's computer. A 256-
- byte pre-header (which contained the string "Macintosh" in bytes
- 0x8-0x17 of the header of the LZH) made it impossible for LHA
- or other LHArchive tools to manipulate the archive.
