While I've never used it, I > understand it has a good number of features. SpeedScript is NOT Public DOMAIN! As a mater of fact nothing from Compute! is PD. A while ago I wrote to Compute! asking permission to place programs from their magazine in the Rutgers Univ. CCIS Microlab and we were turned down. Compute! claims that all the programs published in their magazine are not PD. Most user groups, info services (GEnie, CIS) has also been denied permission to distribute Compute! programs. As Mark said, T:EDIT from ANALOG is an excellent program. I use it mostly for reading doc files, and for writing some C programs. But if you want a real program I would suggest either AtariWriter Plus or Paperclip. -- -Marc L.
