Whoever put SamMines up. BTW, Can anyone else get Mines to work? I've tried everything, and just get a crash or a hang-up. The CALL address appears to point to the middle of a routine - I've tried 105634 which looks to be the start of that section with no success either. About the text editor, it looks useful - but more as a basic text editor than as a fully fledged word processor. I'd like to see a bog-standard editor that will sit in some high-memory page until called. It would then allocate itself the largest contiguous number of free pages as workspace. Nothing special required for editing, apart from word-wrap and search and replace. Oh, yes - ASCII might be preferable to TasWord2 format, but with the ability to import TW2 and possibly BASIC progs. When quit, it will free up all its workspace and go back to sitting in memory. Not a lot to ask really :-) The front end of that text editor looks quite nice really - GUIs can be good if designed well, and provided with simple keyboard shortcuts for those without mice. Tim W.
