WSedit - Write&Set Editor 0.95
for OS/2 and eCS May 2003
www.WriteAndSet.com
Wordstar like Editor available for OS/2, Windows
and Linux (planned) which reads Wordstar 4-7 and ASCII
(ISO and IBM codepage) and writes Wordstar 4 and ASCII
format (ISO and IBM codepage).
WSedit is part of the wordprocessing suite "Write&Set"
which consists of two programs: WSedit and WSformat.
WSformat is not part of this archive file.
WSedit as stand-alone application is Freeware, the
Write&Set package containing both WSedit and WSformat is
Shareware.
The idea of WSedit is to have a modern graphical 32-bit
application with look-and-feel of old Wordstar for DOS. But
you can also use WSedit without knowing Wordstars
Ctrl-commands ("Ctrl" is abbreviated ^) and without knowing
about the Wordstar file format: if you don't use the
Wordstar file format, WSedit is a powerful text editor for
large ASCII files with/without word wrapping. In this case,
it will be nevertheless useful for you to take a look at the
dot commands for unformatted files and at the Ctrl commands.
The behaviour of WSedit depends on the text file extension.
In the settings notebook (Ctrl-OO), you can define different
properties dependent on the file extension of the file.
Most Wordstar commands are supported, press Ctrl-J for a
Ctrl key summary.
Changes in WSedit 0.94 since 0.92:
- Menu bar (can be switched off, see menuitem Options)
- Alternate appearance of popup menu (see menuitem
Options)
- "highlighted cursor": after a while with no cursor
movement, the cursor is marked by a lightblue cross;
pressing CTRL without another key forces the highlighted
cursor immediately
- modified behaviour when starting WSedit without a file
(see Settings notebook - page Save).
Changes in WSedit 0.95:
- the search and search/replace dialog accepts
printer characters (enter ^ and B or write a hash #,
followed by three digits for the ASCII decimal code)
The Write&Set archive file has got an installation
program included creating file associations both for
WSedit and WSformat. It also includes a WS text file
containing the WSedit docu which can be printed
(docusrc\WSedit-e.WS). To learn more about Write&Set,
