HI all.. Anybody else downloaded the text editor from the FTP site? No save option I'm afraid, but here's a review:
Points in its favour: 1) Nice and intelligent word wrap 2() Mouse control 3) Nice looking menu system (A bit heavy on the amount of screen space it takes up but never mind) 4) Choice of palette, choice of font... natch... Points against: 1) Can't get it to load files longer than 16k - might be just me though? 2) Only works with Outwrite format files... but never mind. 3) Sometimes it snaps out of edit mode, so you're left with a load of text in the buffer which only gets sent when you click back in the editing area. 4) Loading in some files crashes the hell out of it 5) I can't seem to get it to edit more than one screen-ful of text. I'm assuming that most of these probs will be sorted out by the time it's released... on the whole, 8/10 for effort, 3/10 for the actual goods, but then again, this is a preview. On the whole, it could be a hell of a lot better than the original version of Outwrite for text editing. Possibly. :) Simon
