- EE (Easy Editor)
- ----------------
-
- There are many ASCII editors around, but I still find that I use my
- editor most often. Taking EMACS (one of the best) as an example, it
- is too slow to load when I am running TeX; too many different
- versions even within an operating system; too many commands to
- remember, but still don't have the ones you want.
-
- EE is public domain with source code. It has all of basic editing
- functions like search/replace, block delete/paste, word
- wrap/paragraph fill etc. It is small enough to maintain when you
- have a new OS, or just changed your taste of style. Compromises
- have to be made to make EE small and useful including the
- followings:
-
- * If tab characters are find, it will expand/compress the file.
- Otherwise it keep the spaces (good for fixed format data file).
-
- * It uses two windows, but only keeps one file structure in buffer.
- It works just like windows.
-
- * Whenever possible, portable code between IBM and mainframe
- machine are used.
-
- Of course, you can always change it if it doesn't fit your
- situation. If you like some of the code, you can make the author
- very happy by sending one dollar ($1) to his sweetheart:
