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 AppleΓÇÖs 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 (ΓÇÿHomeΓÇÖ, ΓÇÿEndΓÇÖ, etc.), balloon help and ΓÇÿUndoΓÇÖ (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 PascalΓäó 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-EditΓÇÖs beautiful new icon suite).
Also try Eliza (clinical psychologist), Re-Pete (memory game) and Azile (ElizaΓÇÖs evil twin), available on a BBS near you!
