  • The Semware Editor

    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Tue Aug 23 17:35:06 2022
    Hi everyone,

    I discovered that The Semware Editor, successor to QEdit, is now
    freeware for Windows and Linux. It's a really powerful text-based
    editor. It's available at semware.com.

    I use it as my Windows box's text editor and with Multimail.

    That's cool, but I'm more of a purist. I still use DOS EDIT.COM ... the ver from Win95 works great still. Just can't print, but for that, there's notepad. :)

    I like EDIT.COM also but my time is more valuable than using the wrong tool for the job.

    Notepad++ is free and open source, so that appears to be a big difference. I actually don't use text mode editors in Windows, but I spend a lot of time

    yeah but i really like editpad. it's great. i've used notepad++ a bit but i really like editpad. it has a free version that most people would be happy with. I don't see something as being open sourced as a draw.

    in vim on Linux. When I am using a GUI on Linux (which isn't often), then it's usually Geany as my editor of choice these days.

    Yeah, me too. And to think: it's just unlocking code (the so-called "Soft-PC" VDM) that was already in NTVDM all these years and Microsoft could have easily done the same (or maybe not so "easy" due to licensing concerns).

    Kindof surprised they didn't just outright buy it out. They used to be good for that way back when.

    With our hero Billy gates divorced now, maybe we can persuade him to return to MS and fix our broken Windows. They've become a bit drafty over the years.

    I love the Rube Goldberg contraption that is DISM for managing the eternal
    hell that is the WinSXS update repository. I imagine it was conceived by someone who religiously rides their bicycle to work or has a standing-desk
    that they must constantly brag about to all their coworkers.

    well i mean for a console app editor. For a GUI editor in windows I've used editpad pro for many years. Bryan Turner turned me onto it.
    It's probably very comparable to Notepad++.
