The editors ME (Martin's Editor) and WSedit (Wordstar DOS like Editor) for Linux (gtk2) and Macintosh (MacOSX) are now available. Please collect the malfunctions and send them to me. All Editor versions besides the OS/2 - eComStation version are now generated by a different programming environment.

I cannot test all functionality on all OS. I really need your feedback!

The size of the archive files is 0,5 MB (OS/2), 0,8 MB (Windows), 1,7 MB (Linux) and 2,3 MB (MacOSX).

New in ME and WSedit beta 10: "File - Additional Window" opens an additional editor window for the same file. Changes in one editor are immediately visible in the other editor.

WSedit for Linux: wsedit-l-beta.zip

Please note the following limitations of the beta versions:

Some user interface functionality which worked fine in 0.99k will perhaps fail. It is not possible for me to test all functionality on all four operating systems.

Drag and drop has been implemented in Beta 8. Function key functionality has been implemented again in Beta 8.

Known bugs: incorrect formatting of text in menus.

Fixed in beta 1a:

• memory problem (e.g. deleting several lines line by line) let the program crash after several operations
• WSedit settings notebook did not open
• Button click no reaction
  

• Font problem in Linux (only fixed fonts are allowed, otherwise wrong cursor postions!)
• cannot save file problem in WSedit
  

• Save file error (cannot write file, error writing wsedit.dta)
• settings notebook: wrong index labels, wrong numeric default values
• File - New Window did not work
• a handful minor stuff.
  

Fixed in beta 2a:

• Font metrics improved
• (Windows and WSedit only) foreign characters (e.g. german Umlauts) still did not work properly
• (WSedit only) special characters like tab snow character could not be entered
  

• the main focus was special WSedit functionality (locate string, contents window)
  

• again main focus on WSedit functionality
  

too much to list here. Window sizes, MacOS file associations, MacOS redraw problems

Fixed since beta 6:

after using ^Y or ^T for deleting, the editor could crash

ME for Macintosh has been renamed from me.app to MartinsEditor.app. Please delete "me" in the programs folder.

Fixed since beta 9:

Drag and drop re-implemented, WSedit function key macros re-implemented, a lot of minor bugs

In WSedit 1.00 beta 10: 'File - Additional window' opens additional editor windows for the same file which get updated automatically.

WSedit 1.00 beta 10 Linux and Mac were defective, they could not start.

In WSedit beta 11, the text screen output and the blinking text cursor has been revised. In the used program library were bugs, I've rewritten parts of this functionality. Especially on the Macintosh platform, there were serious problems.

[console app] | me in
works now in beta 11 on Linux and Mac.

In ME beta 11, sh files are saved automatically with correct user rights and correct line endings.

In WSedit and ME beta 12, a handful small bugs were fixed, drag and drop in Mac has been improved and an ugly jumping cursor bug has been fixed when using an additional window.
