to main chapter About WSedit
I had got different reasons for writing WSedit.
-
I do a lot of word processing and I like Wordstar.
But today, a DOS program is no more acceptable. And I missed some functionality
in Wordstar.
-
For my Shareware program Hypermake, I need a powerful
integrated editor. It is much more efficient to develop the editor as a separate
project. Hypermake and WSedit shares a lot of program code. Fixing a bug in WSedit
will fix the same bug in the Hypermake editor and reverse.
-
The majority of editor code was already available in the program developing environment
I use. So the amount of work was not as much as it looks
like. The WSedit project is based on a programmers editor without wordwrap functionality
which is part of the cross-platform Pascal developing environment "Sibyl".
-
WSedit is an important part of the wordprocessing suite Write&Set. I think it is
necessary to offer a non Winword-like wordprocessing software
which is not "Tex". Too much users are frustrated with Winword and Winword-like programs.
