- I'll toss in my vote for STPage, also at atari.archive.
- Small (<13K) and quite fast; I can't compare it to any of the commercial
- stuff, but it's much faster than anything else I've seen that's PD; paging
- down through a file is very quick, and searches are also. The only complaint
- I have had is that it doesn't recognize tab characters; if it reads one in
- a file, it deletes it, and if you use the tab key, it inserts the spaces
- needed to get to the tab stop rather than an actual tab character.
- The editor has a lot of features for such a small program: search/replace/
- delete/move/copy etc. It isn't Gem based, but does have easily used drop
- downs and uses the GEM file selector.
-
- I searched for quite a while for a small, fast editor to use for my
- source code, and I haven't found one better than this.
