- --------------------@4
- EdWord is an extremely powerful, general purpose text editor which offers a
- host of useful and helpful facilities. Since Edword's initial release 4
- years ago it has undergone a myriad of improvements and updates resulting in
- the current version which provides an indispensable aid for every Amiga
- user. As you might expect, the basic function of EdWord is to edit text and
- in this role, it offers all the rudimentary facilities which any text editor
- might offer, but what makes EdWord that bit more special are the extra
- options which it provides. The following is a list of some of the more
- notable functions which are supported by version 5.6:
- @2
- ·@4 Multiple Documents: you can edit up to 15 documents at once
- (memory permitting, of course) with a split screen option to
- view two of them together.
- @2 ·@4 A Macro Facility: lets you record any sequence of keypresses/
- mouse clicks and menu selections, and then play them back. This
- is very useful for automating small repetitive jobs.
- @2·@4 An ARexx port offering an extensive and comprehensive range of
- commands to provide full automation of EdWord; with the ability
- to enter these commands directly (without using ARexx), as well
- as run any ARexx script from within the editor.
- @2·@4 PowerPacker Support: EdWord will (optionally) decrunch any
- data files which have been packed with this cruncher
- @2 ·@4 A new few feature called Auto Suggest whereby if you type in
- a filename which doesn't exist when loading, then EdWord will
- make an intelligent suggestion as to what you actually meant
- to type in!
- @2·@4 AppWindow Support: When running EdWord on a WorkBench screen,
- it is possible to load a file by simply dragging its icon into
- the editor's window
- @2·@4 Uses the clipboard device for all block operations
- @2·@4 Functions to reformat paragraphs of text, giving either left or
- full justified text.
- @2·@4 A calculator which lets you perform basic arithmetic as well as
- convert numbers between different bases including decimal,hexa-
- decimal,octal and binary
- @2·@4 An auto indenting facility as well as a symbolic indenting
- facility (i.e. EdWord can automatically indent your source
- code as you enter it)
- @2·@4 Text Casing of language keywords. i.e. certain keywords can be
- forced into a certain case (Uppercase,Lowercase or Capitalised)
- Useful to maintain a consistent look to a piece of source code
- @2·@4 Access to AmigaDOS to allow the user the ability to run any DOS
- command (This could be used to run a compiler or assembler
- through the editor)
- @2·@4 Save backups and auto save files to a specified directory.
-
- @2·@4 The ability to use either the standard EdWord file requester or
- the ReqTools or Asl library ones
- @2·@4 An ASCII table of printable character codes with the ability to
- insert any such character into the current text (from ASCII
- code 0 to 255)
- @2·@4 The ability to sort a block alphabetically - this could be used
- for arranging a list of names, games etc.
- @2·@4 checks RAM for any viruses or suspicious programs when it first
- loads up and alerts the user if it finds anything strange.
- @2·@4 Various screen resolutions are supported including PAL and NTSC
- standards, custom or WorkBench screen and the ability to work
- in interlace mode and upto 8 colours.
- @2·@4 Powerful printing options including the setting of margins, the
- page length, the ability to include page numbers and to specify
- the print pitch and quality.
- @2·@4 On-line help texts available from within the editor.@4
- There are an awful lot of features offered by EdWord which may never be
- discovered by the casual user. If you intend to get the most out of this
- excellent text editor, then it would be a good idea to have a quick glance
- through some of the help texts offered by EdWordHelp.
