Description editor AC Edit v0.09
Alone Coder
Editor AC Edit (hereafter simply Edit) evolved from a simple
text listalki.
The history of its origin is quite instructive. It so
happened that when I (Alone Coder'u) was necessary (I thought
so) score book Strugatsky brothers <Monday begins on Saturday>
at hand there was no suitable text editor: Tasword not accept,
TLW 2 - very slow, and ZX-Word'a simply lacked. K Luckily, my
hands hit the magazine ZX-Format N ~ 5 in the annex to which
there was a program MED FDD Kovalevsky, and your humble servant
decided to see what is it edyat.Pervoe impression was very
positive: running fast cursor, windows, menus, help
'Ears, as much as much as 30.5 k memory for text.
(This is for 128k-something computer! First I did not
attached to this matter because y Tasword 21k
memory, the TLW 2 - 23k, while the ZX-Word - 26k).
The beauty of this editor has been evaluated
the author of this description of the true only if the third
was recruited povesti.Delo that the format of the editor is not
compatible with any other existing word processor and the
memory of his not even enough for one chapter of the book. But -
started I started - I had donabrat text.
He is still lying around somewhere on diske.Kak
do you think about whether to start typing it in
magazine?
That was in January 1998. When at the end
August priehahom from the village and nachahu 2-nd
course, the author had a lot of non-incarnate ideas.
The first thing I wrote a Rubik's cube (and this
extinguished interest in the mechanical variant).
Greatly delighted, your obedient servant,
went to the radio market and met with the seller Vova to share
with him his steepness and with the hope that Vova
able to sell it. But he not only
sold, but did not even see the cube - Cube
stored on a floppy disk in a format ALASM, but Vova
could not (!) to handle it.
The author then began to wear their old Vova program somehow
concocted the Viewer for their descriptions (in the mode 42
pitch). To to recruit such texts, but also because I have
before had such a dream, I undertook to write the editor
himself. In listalku for this was to be merely
insert the cursor and make treatment
several additional keys.
Originally introduced the button Graph
and Delete, respectively, with the function
Del and Backspace. Second, even knew how to wash
Enter, splicing thereby stroki.Protaschivshis from his immense
steepness (far away), the author thought it was a really
painfully truncated text editor - even scissors, you can write
more, and made input of Latin characters, a day later - and
even Russian, a day later - do any - in Caps Shift.
I do not know how I got the idea
used 128k memory, but the design, calculation and debugging of
this addition took about four days. But this was my first
achievement to be proud of a truly (known only one word
processor that handles 64 k - Tasword 128 but the row it has a
fixed length; listalok yet so capacious a minimum three).
When the editor was almost ready, the elder parallel group
gave me read Garrisona.Ko I came upon a rare text, and I just
could not reprint it! The final touches on the program have
appeared because of the needs of rapid typing, t.k.ya hoped to
release the magazine (and where else to dump a rare text
program and calls for cooperation?) In November,
and his decision to change did not intend to. (How do you
frazochka?)
How wonderful it would be if only all authors
Text Editor'ov feel in the situation of their users!
The story ends and begins
proper description of the Editor:
After downloading it clears the text, a button for cleaning
is not provided, although it can be envisaged: I believe
that in one session with the editor no one will edit the two
texts.
Cursor, of course, moving arrows, but there is one note: if
you like press the buttons slowly, then taxing
the text better, go to the Latin mode t.k.nazhatie digits
5,6,7,8,0 during long-term retention Caps Shift Editor
understand how Russian capital R, G, E, S, C. These things
increase the speed dialing teksta.Kombinatsii SS and arrows
have the same function, that in the MED, ie: SS / = Home, SS /
= End, SS / - beginning of the text, SS / - end of text.
About the Delete button and Graph have been skazano.Po
earnest request of Yuri Sviridov CS / 9 is now also can erase
Enter, and in any place after the end of the line. In short,
all as in WordStar or TurboPascal.
The maximum string length - 255 characters, above which the
editor will be buzz, however, the cursor still runs only on the
first 43.Ogranichenie arose because of the fact that the editor
of the buffered line. (This often does not think the authors
text editors, which is why these
editors could not edit the text
t.k.skorost character input exceeds the rate of their
perception of the computer.)
CS / 3 and CS / 4 as usual leaf pages, respectively, back
and forth.
Enter code sets 13.10. It is a standard, but
someday I'll make the regime with 13.
Edit puts tabs in 3 simvola.To same
too does Enter, pressed at the end.
SS / Space - Rus / Lat.
CS / Enter - Save file.
SS / Q - tighten the string to the left. Regarding paragraph
please do not worry - the editor knows about them.
SS / W - enter the name of the file being edited.
Operate the Delete button, and Enter. Expansion
can not be changed.
SS / E - Edit file.Fayl selected from the catalog. Powered
cursor, Enter - Load, Break - Otmena.Ne output files types B
and H.
SS / I - many editors in the status bar occupies a place on
the screen, I have also its can only be seen by the order,
keeping these klavishi.Ya think it's more convenient.
SS / Enter - a very specific function:
all the lines before the cursor on a disc and
remove from memory.
I do not advise pushing CS / SS / T - This is a debugging
feature, and you do not need it.
In the Russian regime rare letters (well, as
say - rare, in fact or
are less common than <h> and
<u>) can be administered as the classical way - through the
Symbol Shift - And pressing the corresponding numbers:
mark b u w e w - h
figure 1 5 6 7 8 9 0
I have it written right on the keyboard.
Capital letters, as the author had the honor
inform you entered with Caps Shift'om that
very convenient. Big Z is introduced to the depressed, because:
Caps Shift + A set of three digits introduces
corresponding to this code simvol.Kody may begin in only 1 or
2. For example, CS/241 give e, CS/240 - E, CS/127 -, CS/281 -.
The remaining characters can be found in the book by P. Norton
<The hardware and software organization of IBM PC>, or you
could pick construct the table by experience. Editor
has no character limit of text, so you can not print only two
characters: 10 and 13 (the inversion circle and note). By the
way, about the character № (code 252). Obviously, his
place should be the symbol of infinity,
as place the letters <this> in a table from a book
Norton is just infinity (code
236). Perhaps the design of this table, an error which has now
spread to the extreme: in the driver keyrus (IBM PC) on this
site N ~, in ALASM - completely incomprehensible symbol
superscript n. .. Because of the nonstandard use of CS
Edit only works when you click on the appropriate button, and
not on the CS / 1; Caps Lock also works only on the depressed.
If you attempt to enter a symbol in the 43rd position and an
automatic transfer alignment line on the right. Until
that you have to insert the hyphen itself, but
somehow and it will be automated. Yes!
Right alignment is
without compression line, so
when you type do not put spaces after
points, commas, etc. For the beauty of the alignment space
after punctuation marks are higher priority than other gaps.
Iterates a maximum length of text 65280
bytes - is not tracked.
PS: The author of this article has demonstrated a record typing
speed in this editor: 157 bytes / minute!
