- I have registered QED, and have decided against TurboText for one main
- reason--TurboText doesn't support the Amiga keymap mechanism! I use
- a dvorak keyboard, (very happily I might add) and TurboText is hard-coded
- with qwerty. Unacceptable in a program, and evidence that the programmer
- isn't "playing by the rules", which is generally important in an editor.
-
- QED's virtues (for me) are its full AREXX support, very fast file loading
- and search/replace (it loads my >>200K fish listing in less than two seconds)
- and its support of keymaps.
-
- just my 2 cents...(anxiously waiting for my registered qed!)
