[Coco] Colorful_Sled_6ed

Stephen,

 I would definately be interested in the Sled source. I have downloaded all you linked, but yet had time to go through it as I've got another pot on the fire right now and it's boiling over. As soon as I get through with that stew, I want to go through the manual and see what it offers. I've been needing a better text editor.

 I do have one question, how does it handle files too large for the buffer. I need an editor that has simple controls, like Ed and TSEdit but with a "buffer swap" that allows large files. I don't need "fancy" features like formatting, multi-fonts, and all that. Just a simple editor that supports tabs, arrow key scrolling, insert/overstrike, files larger than buffer, and block copy/cut/paste. Also, I need to be able to run two instances from different windows and be able to copy from one to paste to the other.

I really like Ed 3 and Ed has been my editor of choice but the buffer sucks. I have a lot of files that I have to export to the PC and edit them in RainbowIDE then bring them back to OS9. I have DynaStar but I'm too lazy to read the manual, and you don't touch that one without the manual in hand till you learn the command system.

Hi,

I was looking for the archive of previous Sled versions (Might help the 
Apple2 folks with their OS-9 Level-I efforts) and I discovered that I was 
using 6A on VCC instead of 6B.

NitrOS-9 broke another one of my OS-9 programs which I just used to install 
Sled 6B so I had better say, my time using NitrOS-9 has been very limited so 
that while Sled on OS-9 is IMHO rock solid, I can only hope that it is rock 
solid on NitrOS-9.

It sure looks like to me that NitrOS-9 is responsible for breaking my 
"Archive" program. Sled might have the same problem if that is the case.

With the dumping ground of RTSI now closed, is Maltedmedia the right place 
to upload the Sled Source or is there a better place?

Is anyone interested?

SHF
