July 1, 1989-- MINI TEXT EDITOR NOW AVAILABLE
******************************************************************************
EAST MEADOW, NY-- Andrew M. Saucci, Jr. has released Centiwrite 1.10.
Centiwrite, available for microcomputers running the MS-DOS or PC-DOS operating
systems, is a single-screen text editor suitable for creating the short memos,
notes, and batch files which form the core of everyday work. Its simplicity
makes it immediately useful even to novices, and expert users will feel at home
with it right away. Small enough to fit on a single floppy disk of any size,
Centiwrite eliminates the need to carry and load a full-size word processor for
small jobs. An added benefit is that the cursor does not blink, and can be
customized to suit the user. The only requirements are 128K of memory and
DOS 2.0 or higher.
LIST OF FEATURES:
* Customization program included for screen colors and other settings
* No-blink cursor can appear in any color, inverse video, or boldface
* Small size, approximately 36K
* Undo key (F3) reverses the most recent keystroke
* Accepts almost any ASCII character, including ASCII zero
(but not 7, 8, 10, & 13)
* Esc and Ctrl-key combinations appear normally on screen
* Displays ASCII value for any selected character
* Horizontal and vertical key repeat functions duplicate a character
* Quick reference screen with list of commands
* Support for EGA 43-line and VGA 50-line modes
* Warning is displayed before discarding a file
* Preset tabs make indentation and column creation a breeze
* Insert or Overstrike modes available, default can be customized
Also available is the Centiwrite Developer's Kit, which includes
the Turbo Pascal units which comprise the editor itself. The Developer's Kit
allows the inclusion of an "instant editor" in Turbo Pascal programs which
generate the same type of small files mentioned earlier. The editor in the Kit
can be placed within a window, and its colors and other settings (including the
cursor color or blinking) can be set by the programmer. The editor can also be
overlaid if desired. Additional support routines can be used independently of
the editor.
Both programs were written by Andrew M. Saucci, Jr., who was
graduated with distinction with a master's degree in computer science from
the New York Institute of Technology. He also holds a bachelor's degree in
the same field from Hofstra University. According to Mr. Saucci, "People should
not have to use an anvil to do the job of a paperweight. Centiwrite is just
right for the kinds of jobs it's designed to do. Besides, anvils will throw
your back out! For what?"
Centiwrite 1.10 is available for $20. The Centiwrite Developer's Kit
is available at $32.50 for Turbo Pascal 4.0, 5.0, and 5.5 (please specify when
ordering). The programs are available on either 360K 5.25" or 720K 3.5"
diskettes. Either program may be purchased directly from the author by making
a check for the above amounts (NY State residents MUST add their local sales
tax) payable to
