The editors ME (Martin's Editor) and WSedit (Wordstar DOS like Editor) for Linux (gtk2) and Macintosh (MacOSX) are now available. Please collect the malfunctions and send them to me. All Editor versions besides the OS/2 - eComStation version are now generated by a different programming environment.

I cannot test all functionality on all OS. I really need your feedback!

The size of the archive files is 0,5 MB (OS/2), 0,8 MB (Windows), 1,7 MB (Linux) and 2,3 MB (MacOSX).

New in ME 1.00: reading and writing text files in UTF8 format.

Please note the following limitations of the beta versions:

Some user interface functionality which worked fine in 0.99k will perhaps fail. It is not possible for me to test all functionality on all four operating systems.

Drag and drop is not implemented yet. Function key functionality does not work anymore at the moment.

Known bugs: incorrect formatting of text in menus.

Fixed in beta 1a:

memory problem (e.g. deleting several lines line by line) let the program crash after several operations
WSedit settings notebook did not open
Button click no reaction

Fixed in beta 1b:

Font problem in Linux (only fixed fonts are allowed, otherwise wrong cursor postions!)
cannot save file problem in WSedit

Fixed in beta 2:

Save file error (cannot write file, error writing wsedit.dta)
settings notebook: wrong index labels, wrong numeric default values
File - New Window did not work
a handful minor stuff.

To get best results with WSedit beta 2, please delete the user settings file. (full filename see Help - About)

Fixed in beta 2a:

Font metrics improved
(Windows and WSedit only) foreign characters (e.g. german Umlauts) still did not work properly
(WSedit only) special characters like tab snow character could not be entered

Fixed in beta 2b:

the main focus was special WSedit functionality (locate string, contents window)

Fixed in beta 2b:

again main focus on WSedit functionality

Fixed since beta 5:

too much to list here. Window sizes, MacOS file associations, MacOS redraw problems

ME for Macintosh has been renamed from me.app to MartinsEditor.app. Please delete "me" in the programs folder.
