You wrote your own editor?
You haven't?
When I got that funky pen based plotter that Commodore
had for my VIC-20, I had to write my own.
I've written some specialized input
routines---mainly to handle dated
numerical input (okay, a program to process lottery numbers, years before
the Internet made such information readily available). But not general
purpose text editing.
I'm surprised that more people haven't written their own editor. An editor was
among the first software projects I did when I built my first computer in the 70s.
Somewhere early to mid 80's I wrote the editor that I still use today. It's not
overly complex, but it supports full-screen (WYSIWYG) and line-by-line
modes and has a reasonable compliment of commands (search/replace/block
functions etc.). Originally in 6809 assembler, I ported it to 'C' sometime later,
and have moved it to every computer that I've done serious work on since.
It's VERY nice to have the same editor "everywhere".
