Hi: Basically, he mentioned that the reason he released it as freeware was that he hadn’t made too much in profits for quite a while. He still plans to work on the product (probably the Windows and Linux versions) when he can, but, is opening things up to the user community. Cheers! Sent from Mail for Windows From: dmccunney I recall Qedit, and used it back in the day, though it was never my primary editor. It got renamed from Qedit to TSE due to a trademark issue. Qedit author Sammy Mitchell was unaware there was another editor called WEDIT, provided by Hewlett-Packard for their midrange multi-user systems line. Oops! If memory seres, Qedit itself got renamed TSE, Jr., and was identical to Qedit. Full TSE was a shareware product intended to be a significant improvement on Qedit. What is offered on the Semware website is TSE Pro 2.5, a significant upgrade to TSE 2.0, and a commercial product. I haven't looked at the Windows and Linux versions that aer now freeware, nor have I had a chance to look at the DOS offering, But I was in email contact with Sammy back when he was developing the Windows and Linux versions. I don't think they have much in common with the DOS product. Among other things, Sammy was creating a new language that could be used to write editors in. I very much doubt what was done in the Semware Editor for Windows and Linux is *possible* under DOS. It requires memory, a multitasking OS, and a more advanced file system than DOS can offer, I have to drop Sammy a note, but I suspect he made the Semware Editor freeware because it was no longer a viable commercial product, Competition in that area is brutal. There are various commercial editors for tjhings like Java development still out there, but the most popular current general purpose programmers are Microsoft's commercial Visual Studio product, and their free and open source Visual Studio Code product, based on the Electron framework first introduced for Github's Atom editor. Github has since sunsetted the Atom project, and it will see no further development. VSC ate it for lunch. If you are running DOS, the new freeware TSE Pro 2.5 produuct may be a very nice upgrade oer what ou have, and I'm pleased to see it offered, ______ Dennis _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user |
