This is a modified version of Matthew Dillon's macro editor, DME.
The following changes were made :
-The window close routine is much more reliable, and it now closes windows
immediately, thus freeing the memory, which is important if you're editing
more than 10 files at once or so and use a batch file to load them all
up at once [usually I like to edit 30-50 files at once...].
-As requested by Paul Cardwell, a proportional gadget has been added to the
window, and reqtools.library is supported like asl.library.
-The rexx interface is now asynchronous and continuously processed.
-Also requested by Paul, if dme finds that a rexx port named "DME" exists
on startup and the "-n" ("new dme") option is not specified, it will ask
the "DME" port to load up the requested files and then quit. Thus only
one dme should be running at a time.
-An option "-i" iconifies the windows after the files are loaded. Only
tested for rexx or one file at a time.
-rxblock/rxunblock/getval commands, rexxport variable for rexx; see the
rexx addendum.
-several misc. commands; see the updated dme.doc.
The version number and credits were to the most part not changed, because I'm
too lazy. I am releasing this mainly because I'm tired of having to call a
rexx script just to do string/number comparisons, and I'm tired of having to
modify someone else's editor to get what I want, so I'm abandoning work on dme.
Besides, I've so far modified/ported about 12 programs for the Amiga, and I
generally just sit on them until someone else does the port/modifications, and
then it's too late to release anything.
Since I am disappointed with dme, emacs, and mg, I will probably (this summer
or so) either make an editor of my own or go through and fix all the problems
I percieve in dme.
If you have any questions/comments/money/software/A4000's/job offers for me,
I'm currently reachable at:

That's all folks; If in doubt, read the docs. If still in doubt, use the
force -- read the source.
