- Eddan - Another Text Editor
- Version 1.0.1
- Lund, Sweden, January 1995.
-
- History
- version 1.0 December 1994
- Eddan is Built around/ontopof TE32K by Roy Wood.
- It actually started out as a TE32K test project to which I added a BBEdit like Text menu.
- Eventually I started using Eddan, mostly because it was fun to use my own editor.
- I then added colored C/C++ syntax, Search menu, Marks menu and basic AppleEvents support.
-
- version 1.0.1 January 1995, despite NO response since first release.
- Modeless Find Dialog.
- Some of the Modal Dialogs are now movable.
- Possible to customize syntax colors.
- Possible to set "Show CR" and "Auto Indent" options in the Tabs&Font Dialog.
- A real Font popup menu in the Tabs&Font Dialog.
- Reopen files if quitting when having open documents.
- Remember current and favorite Search folders between sessions.
- Clicking at Line Number now brings up the Go To Line Dialog.
- Abort "Folder Search" now works ( Cmd - . ).
- Cmd Keys in "Save Before Closing Dialog" ( Cmd - N, Cmd - Y, Cmd - . , and Escape are interpreted ).
- Opens all files, not only TEXT files.
-
- Features includes
- • Colored C/C++ syntax.
- • Mark menu, compatible with MPW.
- • Marks C/C++ functions/methods.
- • THINK References support.
- • ToolServer support.
- • Window information saved with document is compatible with MPW.
- • Spellcheck using Excalibur
- • Search Front Window, All Open Windows or Selected Folder.
-
-
- What you should be aware of
- • Eddan needs System 7 or later and a MC68020 or better.
-
- • Eddan is developed on a single 14" monitor Mac IIsi and System 7 Pro and
- not tested on any other configurations. Hence I am also the only beta tester.
- Comments and Bug reports are therefore welcome.
-
- • Syntax coloring and Mark Functions wants files to end in ".h", ".c" or ".cp".
-
- • A mark menu also pops-up if cmd-clicking in the windows.
-
- • Cmd-Select a folder in the Find dialog removes it from the the Search folder list.
-
- • To use Spellcheck in Text menu you need Excalibur by R. Gottshall & R. Zaccone.
- Excalibur is available free of charge from most major ftp sites.
- The document is closed before asking Excalibur to open it. Note also that Excalibur
- does not keep track of any marks in the document.
-
- • The other IAC menus are inserted if Eddan finds the corresponding server application
- when making a PBDTGetAPPL search at startup.
-
- • About ToolSever
- - Any Window works as a Worksheet if ToolServer is running. This means that current
- line/selection is sent to ToolServer as a script if you hit ENTER. Any result is inserted
- after current selection/line.
- - When Executing Front Window as an MPW Script, any result is sent to a new Window.
- - For now, if you want to add Tools to the ToolSever menu its ok to to so with
- ResEdit as long as you do it after the separator line. The menu item string is sent
- to ToolServer as a Script and ToolServer is brought to front (expecting no replays).
- You probably do not have the Tools I have added so you can remove them.
- GNU AWK, GNU Indent and Perl are available at most ftp sites.
- The Index and TextTool can be found in the book
- "On Macintosh Programming: Advanced Techniques" by D. K. Allen.
- Some useful MPW Tools for text processing can be found in this excellent book.

-
-
- What I might add
- • THINK Project Manager support. To do this I need better documentation from Symantec first.
- • Grep.
- • Show/Hide Clipboard.
- • More and better window arrangements.
- • Synchronized scrolling.
- • Multiple Monitor support.
-
- I also could
- • Improve the ToolServer support, using a dedicated WorkSheet window.
- • Improve Auto mark.
- • Improve Undo to remember more than just last key stroke.
- • Support other languages
- • Add document mode options.
- • Color C/C++ preprocessor directives better
- • Support more Control keys, like F keys, Forward delete, and more?
- • and of course, add better error checking and reporting, Not System 7, etc…

- P.S.
- If a file name ends with ".f" Eddan will treat it as s Fortran source code file and
- the syntax coloring and mark functions will work.
