[Coco] Suggestions for a simple disk based text editor?

[Brett Gordon]

I think I just solved the problem-behind-the-problem for you :)

It is an impressive feat to type that much crap in by hand.  Well,
that *was* the way forth was distributed back then... on paper.  Very
Retro Stephen!

Cheers!

BTW:  is there a good disk editor for BASIC?

I typed this in a text editor on my Mac and transferred it onto my Drivewire computer via a memory stick. I used a file-to-DSK program (that runs as a command line program in a window under Windows XP on my Drivewire computer) to create a .DSK image with the ccforth.asm file on it, and I was then able to mount the disk and use EDTASM to assemble the file. I spent much of a day working my way through typographical errors, and changing mnemonics the EDTASM did not like. Now, I have a file that assembles properly.
