- AE means "another editor." This is a very small text (not
- programming) editor, with source, written in Trubo Pascal, and able to
- edit files which fit in memory. Ideal for someone who just wants to do
- light editing.
-
- The author feels that it's easily learned and remembered, that's a
- personal judgement, but I can't disagree. For all the people who wanted
- a small editor, here it is, complete with ability to handle multiple
- files with cut and paste.

-
- AE (Another Editor) is a Public Domain text editor. Its main features
- are:
-
- * User-definable keyboard macros (record & playback).
-
- * Text formatting facilities like word wrap and paragraph formatting.
-
- * Multi-document (up to 3) with the possibility for cutting and pasting
- between them.
-
- * Efficient: most commands can be called with a single keystroke
- (alt-key or function key).
-
- * Small: 42k byte EXE file.
-
- AE is intended for writing programs and small texts. It is NOT a
- full-fledged word processor or programmer's editor. Its set of commands
- is limited, but was designed in such a way that it should be easy to
- learn and remember.
-
- AE is written almost entirely in Turbo Pascal and is delivered with
- full source code. Its main restriction is that it cannot handle files
- larger than 64k bytes, but it comes with utilities for splitting and
- merging large files so that these can be edited as well.
