- V1.188 Demo
-
- Release Note
-
-
- You are having a look at the Demonstration version of the first
- commercial release of the Edith desktop text editress package.
-
-
- EDITH is one of the most flexible and user-friendly text editors
- currently existing for any micro computer platform. The program's
- ability to work with text selections of arbitrary complexity, as well as
- many other new ideas such as visible text blocks and the text data trash
- can, make powerful editing features accessible to computer users who
- want a computer program to understand THEIR wishes, and not vice versa.
-
-
- Other important features are:
-
- - a pleasant learning curve for both naive and expert computer users
-
- - high customizability
-
- - macros, kurzels and TTP filters
-
- - elementary support for binary editing in C format.
-
- - aligned display in proportional fonts, suitable for source code
- editing.
-
- - 256 colour support
-
- - the tab/true tab system allows one to work with small indentation
- levels without problems with the standard true tab measure of 8
- columns.
-
- - innovative user interface design (elaborate keyboard support, a
- modern generalization of the famous cut/paste text editing
- metaphor, visualization of all concepts up to text blocks and
- delicate appearance in colour graphics).
-
- - an honest, well illustrated printed manual provides thorough
- learning information as well as quick reference.
-
- - 21 on-line reference manual pages
-
- - a very reasonable price level
-
-
-
- EDITH is available NOW for any Atari system with at least 1 megabyte of
- on-board memory, at a very affordable price of approximately 110 dutch
- guilders including 17.5% Dutch BTW (VAT) within the EC. For countries
- outside the EC, the price can be slightly higher (120
- guilders) depending on the method of payment. Versions for other
- operating systems such as X windows and MS-Windows will be presented in
- the future.
