- I have been searching for a small, yet powerful text editor for
- Windows. I was not satisfied with many of them. Others, though they did
- work, would not save text in the same format as I saw on the screen. When I
- go into DOS and view the text it is not set right. MegaEdit has changed
- that.
-
- Editors I have used tend to set word-wrap and margins according to how
- large a screen you are using. If you have the program running in a full
- window, there is a tendency for the lines to be longer. These lines would
- be saved in this format. This means I had to go into a DOS editor and
- repaginate the text. For that matter I may as well have just used the DOS
- editor from the start. Another program I had tried would set the line
- according to the size of the font I used. Smaller fonts get more than 76
- characters per line, while larger ones got less. MegaEdit has a word-wrap
- feature. If you set it at 76, the text wraps at 76. No matter how large or
- small a window you have. This is the way word-wrap should work.
-
- Computer Witchcraft, makers of MegaEdit, extracted the editor from a
- larger program they are working on, and added a few enhancements to make it
- the stand-alone program it is.
-
- MegaEdit is a shareware program. It is a Windows program, and has
- drop-down menus and mouse support. You can do all the standard
- cut/copy/paste features. In addition you can change colors of the screen
- and text; Set Tabs; Word-Wrap; Search text with replace and more.
-
- You can Export or Convert text for DOS, Macintosh, and UNIX. Files are
- saved in plain ASCII format and do not have any special formatting codes
- embedded.
-
- Registered users can get support from a variety of sources including
- CompuServe. Owners are provided with registration information. When a new
- version is released, all you have to do is download it. This cuts downs on
- mailings, and provides users with faster access to new releases. It seems
- as if more and more are going this route. I think it is a better
- alternative.
-
-
- Look for MegaEdit on your favorite BBS. Latest version as of this review
- is v2.03.
