X16 Edit - a text editor

[Stefan]

X16 Edit is a text editor especially made for the Commander X16 platform.

Design goals:

• Use plain text files

• Store text buffer in banked RAM (512KB to 2 MB) 

• Handle large text buffers efficiently

• Simple modeless user interface inspired by GNU Nano

• Implement basic editing functions well - refrain from making the program too feature-rich

• Support both ISO and PETSCII modes

The current version of the program is made for X16 ROM version R41. 

The standard version of the editor consists of just one file, and it's loaded and run in the same way as a BASIC program. Use the following command to start the program in the emulator:

• x16emu -sdcard sdcard.img -prg X16EDIT-x.x.x.PRG -run, where x.x.x is the program version.

Besides the above-mentioned standard version, the project also includes the following additional executables:

• X16EDIT-HI-x.x.x.PRG, a version of the editor to be loaded and run from memory address $6000

• x16edit-rom-x.x.x.bin, a ROM based version of the editor

Information on how to use the editor, including the additional versions of the program, is in the manual.

The program files, the manual and the source code are currently only available at https://github.com/stefan-b-jakobsson/x16-edit
