You need to define "aballturret" somewhere...

At college we used TECO. That made vi seem friendly. (Although, personally, I would rather pluck out my own eyeballs with a rusty fork than go back to using vi full time.)

Then one day The Good Lord looked down on us lowly programmers and gave us WordStar 3. A word processor that could be configured to be a COBOL editor. Life was Good for a few years, then the Devil saw what was going on and gave us WordStar 2000 and that was the end of that.

... many years and programming languages and many op/syses later ...

Ee, kids today, eh? Don't know they're ruddy born. Give t' ungrateful little beggars a WYSIWYG editor and they don't know what to do wi' it. When I were a lad, oor Dad give us DDT to bugger wi' saved game files, and we were 'appy. 'Appy, I tell thee.

TGHC isn't around, so please don't derail this thread with "when I was young, we had to (...) uphill - both ways" jokes.

It wasn't meant as a joke, just a roundabout way of saying gedit is a usable - if poor - editor.

TGHC?

The Gray Haired Commander, a venerable ancient spacer - currently missing, (hopefully he didn't finally fade away*)

If it had regex matching and split panes it would do everything I want, but as is it's pretty good...

Notepad ++ works really well for all my oxp editing/writing. And it's FREE!

The bold part means the player (not pl4yer) version of the v4li4nt won't work. Don't know what else doesn't work..

Now, if someone with the know-how could make an Openstep plugin for Notepad++, that would be good.

Joe can be invoked as /usr/local/bin/jstar, however I'm not sure if that's close enough for your use, but I've used joe, & joe is good.

Lol.

I just clicked on that link and found a site referring to the CP/M debugging tool. CP/M! Now that takes me back, way back to 1986 when I spent my first ever pay packet on a brand new Atari ST computer. It came with several floppy disks, one of which was for a CP/M Emulator. It was useless then too!

CP/M - wow! Ah, my Commodore 128 running in CP/M mode...
