About Tex-Edit…

Tex-Edit is a handy text editor that includes a built-in text reader!  I keep a copy in my Apple menu and an alias on the desktop (for drag-and-drop operations).  Tex-Edit is fast, easy-to-use and requires very little memory.  It is particularly adept at formatting text which is transmitted to and from a BBS.

Tex-Edit requires System version 6.0.7 or newer.  If you wish to hear Tex-Edit speak, you should install the Apple’s Speech Manager extension in your Extensions folder (along with any desired voices).  The program runs perfectly well without the Speech Manager.

Tex-Edit is limited to 32K text files.  Extended keyboard functions (‘Home’, ‘End’, etc.), balloon help and ‘Undo’ (for most functions) are supported.  Tex-Edit is System 7 compatible, 32 bit clean, 68040 cache compatible, Apple event aware and stationery aware.

I used the wonderful THINK Pascal™ compiler and would recommend it to any other novice programmer.  The source debugger is excellent.

If you would like copies of the Pascal source code, just send a disk (preferably NOT blank) and a self addressed, stamped envelope to:

You can also send feedback via modem:

Tex-Edit 1.8.5 (as well as the source code) is released to the public domain.  This is not shareware.

Also try Eliza, Re-Pete and Azile, hopefully available on a BBS near you!
