I would love to see a good file editor for the IIe level, but I'm not about to try making one. >Is there any type of X_window available? I don't think there are any tools that do graphics, but there are tools that open up text windows. In fact I'm in the middle of writing a version 3.0 of Daemon that includes windowing along with its other little goodies. By release 4.0 the windows should be portable... Since I chose this as an opportunity to plug the project I've worked on since last summer, I may as well mention that I've added over 31 new MAJOR routines to daemon, allowing 80-column window control, and mouse control, invisible to an executing BASIC program. The bug I'm fighting now concerns the way it crashes when more that 25 windows are opened simultaneously... my project for tomorrow. And even with all its new features, its fully compatible with older versions of daemon, and routines that made use of the normal entry vectors. I don't think anyone else wrote tasks for Daemon, but if they did, they should still work. The source code for the thing is over 25K long, the object code over 2K. So far the only version I'm working on is for the 6502, but I plan to make a 65c802 version for myself. Its no longer relocatable, it got too big. --- Michael J Pender Jr Box 1942 c/o W.P.I.
