[Coco] Window Writer for OS-9

[nickma2 at optusnet.com.au]

Can I get these files from an old OS-9 system and just copy them to
their respective folders on my NitrOS9 startup? (Maybe the MultiVue
disk?)

 If you want a good graphic text editor in OS9, just use "Ed 3.1", and
no, it's not "sled", "scred", "lined", or any other of the editors. It
was written by Mike Sweet who gave us the "CGFX7" C graphics
programming library and others.
 Ed 3.1 is 80 column graphics, menu (mouse) driven, cut/copy/paste,
find/replace, 80/160 columns, choice of colors, insert/overstrike
modes, file merge and large buffer (slightly bigger than tsedit).
Setup is simple, put the file in your cmds folder and type "ed" or "ed
<pathlist>". It couldn't be simpler.

 You do need CoWin in your boot (Who switched cowin for cogrf in the
rep disks? Bad decision) and also, you nee stdfonts, stdptrs and
stdpats in memory (same as any graphics oriented text program)
