- AM-EDIT is a full featured text editor. Some of the features of the
- system are listed below:
-
- * The entire system is written in assembler, so as to provide
- the fastest possible response time.
-
- * It is extremely fast when loading files, saving files, and
- when searching for text strings.
-
- * It is compact. The program size is under 39K.
-
- * It provides extensive on-screen help.
-
- * It can store over 3 times the amount of data in real memory
- as compared to some PC editors.
-
- * It contains a built-in decimal/hex/binary calculator, which
- includes logical functions such as AND, OR, XOR, and NOT as
- well as the arithmetic functions.
-
- * It contains a built-in ascii chart.
-
- * It allows the user to trace all lines which have been changed,
- copied, moved, or added since the edit began.
-
- * It allows each user to have his or her own "User ID", identi-
- fying parameters chosen by that user. Parameters include the
- screen colors, file backup option, and the number of lines to
- scroll when paging through the file.
-
- * It contains a built-in screen blanker and an automatic save
- option, and both features can be customized for each user.
-
- * It uses commands rather than "pop-up" menus, and the user is
- never required to enter a line number in a command.
-
- * It allows the user to execute commands with a minimal number
- of keystrokes. For example, after starting an edit, you can
- delete every line in your file with the following keystrokes:
-
- * Type the letter "d" (or "D")
- * Press Ctrl-Page Down
- * Press the ENTER key
-
- The lines will be deleted in a fraction of a second. You can
- then restore all lines that you just deleted by simply press-
- ing function key Shift-F4.
