Tex-Edit is a handy text editor that includes a built-in text reader!  I keep a copy in my Apple menu and an alias on the desktop (for drag-and-drop operations).  Tex-Edit is fast, easy-to-use and requires very little memory.  It is particularly adept at formatting text which is transmitted to and from a BBS.

Tex-Edit requires System version 6.0.7 or newer.  If you wish to hear Tex-Edit speak, you should install the Apple’s Speech Manager extension in your Extensions folder (along with any desired voices).  The program runs perfectly well without the Speech Manager.

Tex-Edit is limited to 32K text files.  Extended keyboard functions (‘Home’, ‘End’, etc.), balloon help and ‘Undo’ (for most functions) are supported.  Tex-Edit is System 7 compatible, 32 bit clean, 68040 cache compatible, Apple event aware and stationery aware.

I used the wonderful THINK Pascal™ compiler and would recommend it to any other novice programmer.  The source debugger is excellent.

Tex-Edit 2.0 is FreeWare.  If you would like a copy of the Pascal source code, just send $5, a disk and a self-addressed, stamped envelope to:

I would like to thank E.J. Chichilnisky (for suggestions, feature development and extensive beta testing) and Keith Corwin (for helping design Tex-Edit’s beautiful new icon suite).
