[Coco] Good full screen editor for NitrOS9

[Bill Pierce]

Dave, as far as large size files, the only things I know are "scred" and "Dyna Star", both of which are a pain to use (to me).
However, working with C (or RMA assembler), I break my files up into smaller chunks to keep size down, and use Ed 3.1, which is a graphics oriented, 80x23 (one line for menus), point-n-click text editor. Ocassionally I have a file that's a little too big for Ed and I'll use Vim (TSEdit patched for 80col), which has a slightly larger buffer, but less features.
All the others, scred, Ved, and Dyna Star just have too large of a learning curve for me to learn a new editor and I'm used to Ed's menu system.

Subject: [Coco] Good full screen editor for NitrOS9

I know I have probably asked this question before but I'm still searching for a decent text editor for NitrOS9.  I would like to run it in a 80x24 text window and it needs to be able to handle text files that could grow as large as 100k or more.  It would primarily be used for asm or C programming.  Anyone have any suggestions?Dave-- Coco mailing listCoco at maltedmedia.comhttps://pairlist5.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/coco
