TGB1718 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Can anyone suggest a simple test editor to use, I know ED.COM is available using SpartaDOS X, but I am using SpartaDOS 3.2F as the programs I am writing won't run properly under SPDX so ED is not available. Just want to use it to make/edit some batch files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Hello TGB1718 Not sure if it'll work with SD(X), but I'd recommend T:Edit from ANALOG Computing. Sincerely Mathy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roydea6 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) EDIT.XEX and EDIT9.XEX should be MyDos and SpartaDos 3.x friendly. The first is version 2.5 and the second is version 2.9 Edited January 13, 2020 by Roydea6 To add another version of same program. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nezgar Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Good ol TextPro is what I used to use back in the day to edit my BBS menus and batch files, and it runs under SpartaDOS 3.2. https://atari.fox-1.nl/atari-400-800-xl-xe/400-800-xl-xe-tools/textpro-4-0x/ Little heaver weight than the previously suggested options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

576XE Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Hello, baktra. Edit13 is very suitable editor. Is it possible to eliminate CR symbol? The dots evidently shows us the end of line, isn't it? zen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing, dots+crlf, dots only The dots just show unused space (and also can serve as a primitive ruler) The CR shows end of a paragraph 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I have very fond memories of panther. This was a great tool, and also supported Atascii graphics IIRC. http://atarionline.pl/v01/index.php?ct=utils&sub=1. Biuro&tg=Panther#Panther It was also compatible with SpartaDos disk version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
576XE Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Hello baktra I tried EDIT13 and it's very clear looking and the text is very readable!!! Here <msg .by...> stanza has some digits - it's ASC("...") of MAE controls... And the result... Hello, Marius Is it possible to use all ATASCII Pseudographics in PANTHER and how? Sometimes it's very big problem in programming because some of the symbols are used by editor as control symbols. zen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice. Overall, gram-by-gram, seems the best of the bunch (reminds me of MS-DOS editing tools). Very easy to use, no need to invoke a help menu (as it uses a GUI-like drop-down visual representation), supports multiple column-width formats, customizable screen colors and text brightness, and works very well with SDX Way to go! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in fact DOS II+ disk, that's why the difference in the file system organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit13 is exactly what I have been looking for. An editor whereI can hide the non printable characters. The only bummer is there's no way to get a directory listing to see your file names prior to loading a document. I copied Edit13.com from the flop48 disk to a new one and made it outrun on boot. hitting CtrL-Q exits to dos where you can do a Dir at least and then go back.
