Turbo-Edit 97 requires Windows 95 or later to run. ---------------- ¤ Key Features ¤ ---------------- - Turbo-Edit 97 can open as many files at a time as you want (even if they are multi-megabyte files) using a tabbed interface. - Configurable syntax highlighting for Assembly, Basic, C++, HTML, Ini, Inf, Java and Pascal files. - Multi-level undo and redo. - Bookmarks. You can set up to 10 bookmarks by using the right mouse button Pop-up menu or the short-cut [Ctrl+Shift+0..9] (number between 0 and 9). You can also jump to bookmarks by using the short-cut [Ctrl+0..9]. - Pop-up menus with right mouse button. - You change between the open files by clicking on their tabs or use the shortcuts Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab or Ctrl+PageDown and Ctrl+PageUp. - Save State of Open Documents. - If you run Turbo-Edit 97 again when their is already an instance running, the file(s) you wish to edit will be opened by the existing Turbo-Edit 97 window. This means there will be at most one Turbo-Edit 97 window open, which will save you from a lot of task switching. - Smarter hot keys. - Accepts file names passed as command-line parameters to the program. (and so can be used to replace NOTEPAD or other editors that are called up from a file manager by clicking on a file). - Open files by drag-and-dropping them from File Manager or Explorer. - Can read and write files in DOS ASCII, UNIX and Macintosh format (with auto detect for UNIX/Mac files). - The editor detects when an open file has been modified by another tool, and prompts you to reopen it. - The editor can restore its size and position on the desktop from a previous session. - Fonts & colors user-definable. - If you wish, the Turbo-Edit 97 window stays on top of all other windows. - Functions to change case, insert a file in the current text, etc. - Reopen menu that lists the last files opened. - Configure the open and save dialog file filters. - Goto Line Number. - Easy and working installation and uninstallation (see below). - And lots more... This program was developed using Delphi 2.0 and is a 100% 32-bit compiled Win32 executable, no run-time libraries are necessary to run it (except for LEdit32.dll included with Turbo-Edit 97).
