Hi,
>> Take the editor of any other email-program: Every one of those >> performs adequate in this matter, with no problems at all. ST> Do they provide quote handling and reflowing the same way MicroEd ST> does? Not exactly. They do it right. I have an editor here from a mailbox net that received its last update in 2001. That means its last update was in that year, the core program is more than ten years older. It's a good program, I'm still using it today. This editor already can do what you explain MicroEd can't do today. >> Besides, "soft-LF" most certainly cannot be the reason of the dilemma: >> The problem is rather that MicroEd removes hard-CRs. ST> Each line in MicroEd ends with hard linefeed [...] Ok, then we've seen the problem right here: In a flowing paragraph there aren't supposed to be any LFs. Flowing text is flowing text, if an editor wants to limit the number of charcters per line it has to do a word wrap, not blindly insert LFs that naturally have side effects. ST> MicroEd does not know anything about soft linefeeds. So a ST> paragraph in MicroEd is a set of lines delimited by two empty ST> lines. This is what "line-oriented" means. Ah. So that's what's wrong with MicroEd. Ok, so when will it be fixed? ST> I have an idea how to make MicroEd using soft linefeeds and keep its existing ST> features, but this requires writing a new editor, which is obviously not a one ST> day/week/month hard job. I hope it will be done at last, but don't know when. I see - another design fault, therefore. There's a lesson in here. In any case, thanks for explaining the system to me. -- MfG, AS mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
