Best Text screen editor
Posted: Fri Oct 02, 2009 9:57 pm
Chema seems to be using HIDE quite alot so i thought i might also advertise a little utility i wrote about 20 years ago called CD (also called Editor3 or CD2). Unlike the name it is a Text Screen Editor and gives full control over all parts of the screen including the status line.
You can plot, set colour attributes and even edit character definitions on screen.
The character designer places a pixel on the character you are over and you can freelly move it through adjacent characters redesigning the letters or graphics as u go.
It also has the standard file menu pressing ESC to enter and ESC again to return to editor.
You can get it here..

Its all in basic (apart from a bit of mc in the basic code) so you can freelly save it on to Disk.
Unfortunately it isn't in oric.org software catalogue, don't know why.
However you can get the instructions(pdf) here..
