Well, that is a rather personal preference. I am using for years now a
Windows freeware editor called PSPad. That handles all the text files in
sizes that ever make sense to load, as well as having a build-in hex
editor mode where you can even edit binary files. Though I recently ran
into the issue that it currently treats CP/M text files as binary files
and opens them by default in Hex mode, because they have a (sequence of)
Ctrl-Z (1Ah) EOF characters at the end. But the author is pretty
responsive on his forum and is apparently looking into adding this into
his detection routine. It has a lot of features that I need when dealing
with text files (sorting, deleting duplicate/empty lines, detect line
mode (CR-LF, LF, CR) as well as supporting syntax highlighting for a lot
of different languages, a tons of character encodings), all with a
modest size and an not overly complicated menu system.
it means I don't have to worry about them not working with my screen
reader. I deliberately didn't download the windows version, because I
just figured it'd be another one of those fancy editors that refuse to
behave for screen readers. Now I need to go give it another look.
The TSE interface kind of looks comparatively "out of place" on Windows,
so I doubt that I am going to use it much if at all. But then the
character based UI might indeed make it better suited for text readers,
for which I luckily don't have any use. ;-)
But I might start using it (the DOS version) again on (Free)DOS...
Thanks for the info. :)
You're welcome...
