Hello, All.

I'm wanting to write my own FSE, but I'm lost on how to work the line editing, screen wrap, etc. Anyone know where I could find some example code to help me out?

Thanks,
Sean

Look at FSED.PAS from the EleBBS source code... Not a great editor but it's a base...

email me if you need it...

Hello Sean,

I'm wanting to write my own FSE, but I'm lost on how to work the line editing, screen wrap, etc. Anyone know where I could find some example
code to help me out?

There was an (optional) Turbo Pascal 3 Tools package which included an FSE - with sources.

And probably there are some useful snippets in the SWAG library too.

So, are the SWAG snippets still available these days?

I think I've got them online here... ftp to midnightshour.org and look in /prog.

Later,

Sure. I found a complete set in HTML format on the PC Magazine
web site - just to name one.

Delphi has alot of source for that...

Windows or dos?

Basic line stuff is easy. I wrote up a simple program years
ago for a few utils that only reads a file and uses editor
functions. I could send it. But best thing is find
SWAG there should be alot of sources there as well more
than my little program.

No. There is only one site that really has them.
I have a link on my website. But they've not been
updated since probably '97?....

OS/2, actually. ;) But I'd make it for Win32 and DOS too.

Once I get settled down into my new home, then I'll look. I have lots of projects I'll be wanting to work on. ;)

Swag doesn't have much os/2 stuff if I recall. But theres
plenty for PC format code for such utils. Its not that
hard. Wordwrap, spell checkers, window editing and such
is pretty simple with the API and other code out there. In
delphi you could do a full editor in about 10 min with the
pre-set API. :)

Hello Scott,

No. There is only one site that really has them.

Within a minute I already had 2 different sites offering SWAG... One offered it
converted to HTML, the other one still had the original Reader format.

Thus I assume there will be a few more.

There are thousands which offer them..my site...for example.
I'm talking there was only ONE official site doing it.
Anything else was copies and or links.
