[ below follows a description of the new features in the latest release of
  FastEddie, a programmable text editor for the Macintosh of Cottage Software
  in Austin.  Please note, that Megamax Software licensed the right to
  distribute this editor with their C-compiler now, which makes it a near
  unbeatable deal.

  The editor is also available in a demo-version including all features but
  limited to small files only (size <6K chars).  ARPAnauts can retrieve it
  from the SUMEX-files or from NGP's FTP-directory ~ftp/public/FE-2.6.
  If I receive enough requests, I may post it to mod.sources.mac or to
  net.sources.mac (depending if the moderator or mod.sources.mac is willing
  to distribute them).

Following is a listing of changes from FstEddie2.5 to FastEddie2.6:

     	% "changE spacing" in display menu changes lineheight
     	  (<cmd><Shift>E decreases spacing, <cmd>E increases 
     	  it), "save oPtions" makes the last change the default

     	% standard clipboard now implemented
     	
      % stacked windows are now bigger (and more convienent)
      
      % window title is now full path name

     	% All open files are now passed to any "transfer" program
     	
     	% mmc auto error display with megamax C upgraded to HFS

     	% implicit transfer names (items > 12 in the file menu)
     	  are disabled if they cannot be opened (thus preventing
     	  any attempted open of a non existant file)

     	% changing fonts now tries to maintain size (previous
     	  default was smallest size)

     	% Lineheight set to multiple of font (for better spacing)

     	% Auto indent copies both TABS and blanks (previously
     	  it inserted blanks only)

     	% inserting blank before TAB moves TAB to next stop

      % bug exterminated .. attempted synchronized scroll bombed 
        when there was only one window open
