In the last issue, we humbly referred to the development team
PROFSOUSE new text editor. We provide the author's words
programmer and project Denis Parinov.

TextWriter version 0.03 demo
The idea to write a convenient text editor appeared quite
some time. At the time of the programs that could be called a
text editor, there was only TLW2 (The Last Word Two), which, in
turn, on a spirit has not transferred the Russian letters.
Later, the good people Russified TLW2 (version
TLW2m and TLW2 +), and then began appearing and other text
editors.
To date, the most common
are ZX Word and IS-Editor.
True, the last few pushes for
that only works with drives of your system and have the text
after writing a couple of minutes of fumbling with copiers (in
the case record text on disk format TR-DOS). Well, if, in
text, then an error is detected ... So
I tried to use the ZX Word.
Many throw a stone in his garden, about
the size of his characters, he says, not without a magnifying
glass read. Especially when used in
as a monitor, a small TV
connected through a modulator.
But there is a downside storana medals. When you need to
prepare for publication IBM'ovsky file up to 80 characters per
line, it is extremely unpleasant to crawl the cursor on the
screen to view all line.
Consider all this, it was decided to create a text editor,
combining a minimum Dignity editors TLW2, ZX Word and IS-Editor.

There were lists the commands that appear
in different modes, the command (the lowest)
line editor. Their challenge will be
also with the function keys 1 ... 0
(A prefix).
The fact that the team is given in English
language, perhaps someone will grieve. Now we
consider placement options on the command
line with their Russian counterparts.
At present, the editor is ready to ... dtsat percent. It is
already possible to edit text, hex dump, load the text is not
longer than 16 kilobytes.

magazine.
