'Tit'editor? What is this, an editor with girlie pics in the dialogs?
========================================================================
No, there are very few dialogs. It has a menu, although that is just
to access desk accs (I need to find the author and tell him to not
bother when MultiTOS is loaded). It will run as a desk acc (author
needs to fix file selector or passes parameters - a bit quirky).
It displays 1 window - your file in 8 or 16 pixel high system font and
a tool bar at the top and sliders on both sides. By double-clicking
the sliders, you can change them from actie to passive. Active sliders
can keep up as fast as I can move my mouse! If I press and hold a
arrow gadget, the text flies by (it is actually so fast that it became
difficult to use when I upgraded from 8 to 16Mhz + NVDI). Other than
the sliders, it is all standard GEM, and has full search n replace
and print facilities with both a simple help dialog and the tool bar
of icons across the top. It loads fast and you can drag a file to it
from the desktop (or install as an application). It searches as fast
as it displays!! Should be tited on a.a.u.e. under Editors.
Again, it is not an editor, just a viewer. It works in background windows
too!
