electronic papyrus:
The problem is that I use other software and hardware - think
numerically controlled lathe and circuit board creation. They
expect the tab characters with one tab per column and they get very
upset with markup language, <table> and the like. Gerber files, once
you get there, are fine in BBEdit.
Nisus 5.1 was really great. It kept all of the text in a data fork
and all of the formatting in the resource fork. The text files were
usable everywhere. No more. It's now a typical OS 10 word processor.
Tex-Edit Plus still keeps all the text in the data fork and all the
formatting in the resource fork. :-)
The other option is Microsoft Excel which, to say the least, is more
than I need but it does work with tab separated data both in and out.
Don't forget Bean. It lets you set variable tab stops. Come to think
of it, I think TextEdit does too, though Bean is far better.
-boo
who used to design printed circuit boards using tape from that
company in Chatsworth CA, whatever it was called.
