Hello Eddy!

Replying to a message of Eddy Thilleman to Paul Marwick:

 pm>> For a small, freeware editor, this one is pretty good. Includes
 pm>> multiple file editing, syntax highlighting, programable keyboard. And
 pm>> its text mode and small enough to install on a boot floppy (:-)

 ET> I would like this editor. I have searched for it with search engines
 ET> on internet, but couldn't find it. Can you send it to my email
 ET> address eddy.thilleman@net.hcc.nl? Thanks in advance.

A good one is KON. This is part of the doc file :

Kon is a multi-purpose PM text-editor with a lot of useful functions.
Kon features:
  * Built-in hexeditor. Switchable between ASCII and hex anytime. Hex startup
    switch.
  * Full control of the file you're editing, even in ASCII mode. No codes are 
    inserted in the document unless the ones you specify. 
  * Handles LF only linebreaks without converting the file
  * Configurable syntax highlighting
  * Configurable keys (Borland/Wordstar by default)
  * Configurable toolbar
  * Search & Replace in multiple files
  * Regular expressions
  * Macro support (editable macros)
  * Undo/redo on all editor functions with configurable buffer
  * Multi-threaded operation
  * Column block
  * Word wrap
  * Drag & Drop
  * Opens up to 25 files in separate windows
  * Window manager
  * Usable as a file viewer in read-only mode.
  * View files in file dialog before you open.
  * Autosave
  * Prints to printer or file
  * Selectable code page
  * ASCII table
  * Jump to specified pos at program startup
  * Convert text between different codepages
  * Small and easy to use.
Kon does not require any specific installation. Just place Kon in a directory
of your choice and add the directory to the PATH= statement in CONFIG.SYS.
Kon also has a visual Make-utility, (Kon Project Manager), which is free to
use
for registered users of Kon.
