The fact that it is impossible to find a MUI TextEditor on Amiga powerfull enough to be used instead of Notepad/Editpad and other editors does not have a reason. Moreover, switching from one AmigaOS flavour to the other it is not always possible to use the same editor due to incompatibilities. NoWinED has born to be a portable MUI program, and in fact it exists for every Amiga flavour (OS3.9, OS4, MorphOS, AROS). Sadly not all the features are present everywhere due to some minor incompatibilities. The name NoWinED comes from an alternative information science magazine that never saw the light of the day: NOWindowsMagazine. Initially NoWinED was supposed to enable me to save the articles for this magazine preformatted for an eventual publication, even if with the development and the death of NOWindowsMagazine this texteditor lost these features. NoWinED is my first Amiga program, so do not expect too much :) NoWinED offers: - Handling of multiple files through tabs that can be managed via "titleButtons", a list, and/or an useful context menu which you can open if you click with right mouse button on right scroll titlebutton (this one appears when it's necessary); - Context menus; - Search and replace module; - Search into opened files module; - File Drag & Drop: dragging one or more files on the NoWinED list the files will be opened in new tabs, draggin a file on a page will open it on the current page. Finally dragging more files on a tab will open the first file in the current tab, and the others in new pages (AROS lacks Drag & Drop); - Basic texteditor features (C&P, select all, Undo, Redo, etc...); - Usage from keyboard supported; - UTF support (you can load UTF files and export UTF with/without BOM or ASCII); - CR/LF/CR+LF support (you can load any kind of txt file and export text with LF/CR/CR+LF); - Wrapping process of your text at the column you want; - Backup of all opened files (you can set time between a backup process and another one); - AutoSave of current file (you can set time between a autosave process and another one); - Graphic printout; - Programmable Fn keys with indipendent profiles; - Exists on all 4 Amiga flavours; REQUIREMENTS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You find all MCC and 3th parts libraries into NoWinED archive. NoWinED try to load these requirements if they are not installed into your system and if you have not loaded old version of them into memory.

WHAT IS USED ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NoWinED uses AISS 4.4 images by Martin "Mason" Merz: http://www.masonicons.info/aiss/ TEMPLATES AND TOOLTYPES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is possible to execute NoWinEd also from shell, so you can specify some configuration's parameters for it using templates. The templates NoWinED uses here are the same parameters you can use as tooltypes in icon of the program. Here is an example of the necessary command to run it :> work:software/NoWinED/ "work:software/NoWinED/" are only an example path, type yours depending when did you install NoWinED. Then add the name of the binary (NoWinED_OS3 is obviously the 68k version) if you use NoWinED for AmigaOS 4.x you must type _OS4 suffix and so on ... And then adding "?" command, this finally show you the various templates NoWinED support. :> NoWinED_OS3 ? If you type all right Shell will show you this one: FILES/M, MOFXFONT/S, CREATEICON/S, HLIST/S, HTBAR/S, HINFOBAR/S If you want more informations about these commands you simply add another "?" Here a quick list of the command FILE: You can give me one or more file and I'll open each file in a new page. NOFXFONT: If you give me this template, I will not use the default fixed font. CREATEICON: You give me this template and I will create a wonderful icon for your text. HLIST: If you give me this template, I will hide my list in which I show you all loaded files. HTBAR: You can give me this and I show you how I can be an ugly and sad editor without my wonderful Toolbar. HINFOBAR: You can give me this and I show you how I can be a simply and without any information for you about your texts. CONVERTTAB: You can disable me this and I finally NoWinED will save your tab chars into your texts without to convert them into spaces. PRINT WITH NOWINED ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Counting from version 0.78 on, NoWinED can print documents by utilizing the font currently displayed on-screen, or by specifying a certain font. NoWinED performs graphical printings and does not use any of the built-in fonts a printer may contain. In order to print with NoWinED, you'll need a printer that can handle graphics. Unfortunately, due to the age of the Amiga / MorphOS printer device and drivers, several bugs that didn't get fixed in the past may lead today to produce unreliable results, i.e. prints, which do not appear on the sheet as intended. There is no way to work around this on the part of NoWinED because you are responsible to choose the right boundaries and printer settings in general. NoWinED utilizes your printer settings. In case these settings are invalid, the printout will be messed up. It's that easy. So please, before you blame NoWinED to be the reason for messed up prints, have a look at your printer's preferences. There you'll find the reason for messed up prints. Some tips: Define the textual boundaries identical to those of the graphical. This reduces the chance that the printer driver gets confused. In case you are using the very buggy PostScript printer driver of OS3: Use always for the Printer preference program and for the PostScript preference program the identical values for the page size and horizontal and vertical resolution (DPI) and especially, the shading class (must be "Color"), otherwise, the printout will be messed up - or you will be faced with a Guru. Set in the "Scaling Panel" "Centering" to "None" otherwise white graphics on a white sheet will be rendered.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Your program sucks on my AROS system! Why? A: It's no my fault, but of who fix Zune bugs and implements into it MUI compatibility, sorry but Zune is very bugged, so you can wait someone to fix these issue or fix yourself on AROS...; Q: NoWinED doesn't work very well with shortcut, why (AmigaOS3.x)? A: MUI3.8 has a bug when a program uses context menu, in this case it doesn't permitt to use shourtcuts when user with mouse pointer is on object which has contextmenus. So NoWinED permitts to disable contextmenu from its prefs so user can choose to use context menu or shortcuts; Q: NoWinED freeze my system OS3.x when I use it as associated tool for *.XYZ file, why? A: Seems workbench 3.x uses stack imposed by icon of project instead to use coocky stack into NoWinED or stack imposed by NoWinED icon, so you have to set your def icon with a proper stack on OS3.x.
