#1326 Text Editors Small Programs Disk
------------------
CSE 1.70 (IBM Version)
Applegate, J. R.
$0
is a text editor that lets you assign editing and program function commands to
any key. Up to five different files can be held in memory at the same time and
text transferred between them. Although these features are often found only in
large text editors, CSE takes only 12k of disk space. The look of CSE is
somewhat similar to Kedit, Personal Editor and other popular editors, making it
a good small substitute for those larger editors when disk space is at a
premium.
Edit
Fox, John D.
$0
is a fast and easy full screen editor. Features include wordwrap,
paragraph reformat, find and replace, delete word, delete line, undo
most recent deletion, cut and paste, enter character as ASCII, load text
block from disk, write text block to disk, and only takes 18k of disk
space. EDIT is meant for little jobs but will handle files over 100k
(limited by memory).
Encrypted Journal 1.0 (EJ)
Sitting Duck Software
$10
is a text editor that automatically encrypts your file when saving and
decrypts it when loading. This is an interesting concept, although the editor
itself is very crude and limited to eight pages of text. Nevertheless, this
could be handy for certain types of small files, such as a list of credit card
numbers, your love letters, resume, etc., which you should encrypt (as we
frequently urge in PSL NEWS), but probably never do.
Sled and Slhed
Wilmott, Sam
$15
are small, fast text editors. They can read and write a variety of file formats
and are useful as file conversion utilities. Many files can be edited at once,
limited only by available memory. There are two versions of the editor: SLED,
for monochrome and color monitors running in text mode, and SLHED, that takes
advantage of the 90 columns and 43 lines of text available using the graphics
mode of the Hercules Graphics adapter.
Text Editor 2.5 (TEXTED)
Haluska, John
$0
is a public domain, full-screen ASCII text editor which uses commands similar
to those used in WordStar and Sidekick. You can easily create/edit batch
files, generate forms, and edit files captured by telecommunications programs.
You can edit files as large as available memory, and pop-up help is available.
Other features include word wrap, DOS shelling, insert, delete, split, join,
block commands, and more. You can print a file/block to LPT1-LPT3, enter any
ASCII code, find/replace a phrase, and set left/right margins and page length.
VI 1.9a
Nim, Sue Doe
$0
is a screen text editor. It has been given the same name as the screen editor
for the Berkeley Unix operating system. This is no coincidence: with a few
exceptions, this editor is a subset of the latter.

Easiest Editor 2.4 (EEDIT)
Kihlken, Tom
$20
is a fast and easy text editor that lets you edit multiple files, including
cut-and-paste between files, search and replace, undo mistakes, access DOS, and
more. It is written in assembler (source not included) and it can run under
Windows and Desqview. It also has support for MS compatible mice and the
ability to run in a small window in DESQview. It is not as powerful as Qedit
(2-WP-1006) nor a pop-up like My-Desk (2-UT-1406), but it crams a lot of
functionality into a small (19k) package.
ED (ED-DC)
Coon, Don
$0
is a tiny editor that contains most features needed to write letters, doc files
etc. It will allow you to cut and paste, load, save and print most files. At
only 2k in size, ED is ideal for use with laptops and RAM disks.
Editing Tools 2.2 (ET)
Jou, Jiann Ph.D.
$25
is a full-screen multifile text editor with a multidirectory DOS shell. With
the editor, you can easily edit multiple files. The DOS Shell, on the other
hand, is an intelligent interface between DOS and the text editor. With it you
may change drive or directory, execute a DOS command, or select a file to edit,
or a program to execute without worrying about paths.
Easy Write 1.2 (EW)
Lachance, Guy and Roper, Tee and Babcock, Chris
$0
is a public domain text editor with Pascal source code.
fastword GOLD 2.0 (FASTWRD)
jwh: SoftWare ASP
$24
is a very attractive DOS text/batch file editor. It operates in VGA graphics
mode and includes full point-and-click mouse support. It can edit files up to
666 lines up to 255 characters long. Other features include cut and paste
operations, printing of all or a portion of a file, execution of DOS or batch
files from within the editor, and more. Requires 512K.
NanoEdit 1.5 (NANOEDT)
Doxa, Christo Pasa
$25
is a very small, fast, no-frills text editor. In our article on DOS 5, this is
the kind of program we suggested that Microsoft should have used in place of
their 250k editor.
PED 3.0
Pliable Products
$23
is an easy-to-use text editor that can handle files of up to 8 meg. Global
search and replace allows you to replace words in files without having to load,
edit and save them manually. Works in EGA 35 and 43 line modes.
TinyWord 2.0 (TINYWRD)
Loys Software Development
$1
is a text file editor requiring just 6k, making it ideal for laptops, etc. It
provides a full range of capabilities while at the same time being fast and
very easy to use. Some features include full cursor controls, on-screen help,
block commands, search and replace, auto-indent, and WordStar compatibility.
Limitations are that lines can only be up to 80 characters long and that you
must have enough free space on disk before saving or the changes will be lost,
although the last version of the file should still be saved in a BAK file.
The editor is accompanied by another tiny program, an 8k text file printing
utility that will let you control the left margin and the number of lines per
page, will let you add page numbers, and will optionally double-space text.

Eded
Gillott, E. C.
$?
is a fully featured, fast, easy-to-use text processor. Its flexibility and
extensive cursor movement facilities make it ideal for program editing, while
its automatic word wrap and instant screen updating make it ideal for general
word processing.
FRED
Floody, Dale R.
$0
is a word processing program for children. It has large letters for easy reading
with word wrap and pull-down menus. It includes features such as search and
replace, block operations, several internal help screens, printer support, text
enhancements, paragraph reformat, and standard movement keys.
Although the author says the program was written for children, there is nothing
overtly childish about it (unlike a similar program, "Word Processing for
Kids"), and it should be of interest to vision impaired users as well.
FSed
Daetwyler, D. W.
$35
is primarily a programming development tool for the applications or systems
programmer.
FSedit
is a text editor that the author wrote using an article from the January
1983 issue of Microcomputing.
RV-Edit
is a full screen editor written in BASIC. It makes use of most of the
special function keys on the PC keyboard, such as Page Up, Page Down, Home,
Insert and Delete.
SG3
DCS Systems
$?
is a word processor, and with the use of the function keys, able to enter any of
the 256 ASCII characters available on the IBM-PC. Super Graph 3 makes use of 10
different screens, that means you can load up to 10 different screens at once,
and easily switch between them.
SoapBox Writer 1.5b (SOAPBOX)
SoapBox Software
$30
is a small word processing
