Hmmm...do you know where I can get it? I'd like to have as many editors choose from as I can...besides I'd like to try it out myself.
afaik it's default to synchronet??
Scary. I didn't have it on a fresh install. Had to install it.
But I Like it!
:) I like Deuce's FS editor too. It's a decent editor, although I never really got used to it because its commands are different from what I'm used to. I tended to continue using IceEdit or DCT Edit. The main reason I decided to write SlyEdit was because I wanted an editor that didn't need to be run in a virtual DOS machine, which is slow. Since IceEdit and DCT Edit are both DOS apps, they are noticeably slower than a JavaScript message editor in Synchronet.
Ya, I was using IceEdit, too...but it doesn't accept CTRL-A codes...now I'm getting used to this one...
I think the reason it doesn't support ctrl-A codes is that ctrl-A codes aren't standard.. Ctrl-A codes are a Synchronet thing. One of the reasons I haven't implemented them in SlyEdit yet is because of that reason, and
the fact that Synchronet BBSs are often on message networks with other BBSs that use different BBS software which don't understand the Ctrl-A codes. Messages with color codes that other BBS packages don't understand tend to just look funky on those BBSs.

Well, you use them on yer tagline...

I love slyedit.. but what turned me on to fsedit was the way the interface acted, I love the way the quoting works.
the CTRL-A can always be stripped out before gating to fido. uucp etc..
