- I am looking for a general purpose text editor with the following
- capabilities. If anyone could recommend one, I would appreciate it.
- Please
- e-mail me, I will summarize...
-
- 1) Free/Shareware (or under $30 or so commercial)
- 2) Multiple files open at once
- 3) Can view/edit files of a few hundered K (100K, 300K?)
- 4) Adjustable tabs and auto-indent preferred
- 5) Adjustable font/size for viewing/editing
- 6) System 7 compatible
- 7) Not too large in code size.
-
- Teach Text can't do 2,3,4, or 5
- I have tried Alpha and found that too much of a pain and a bit buggy
- (4.0.3)
- I have also used MicroEmacs and can't stand that either.
-
- Please help....
