Subject: Needed: Windows editor that autowraps

Does anyone have any recommendations for a Windows editor that autowraps,
i.e., puts in a carriage return/line feed to keep each line less than 
approx 75 characters?   Ideally it would be smart enought to readjust
the lines when they are edited.  Something like Pico but that has full 
mouse, clipboard, etc. capability.  Notepad (even with Word Wrap checked)
doesn't seem to be very good (but maybe someone knows some tricks for
making Notepad do what I want).

FYI, I need this to be used as the alternate editor (^_) with PC Pine
for Windows.

Thanks much,
Nancy

Our editor, Codewright, can autowrap as you describe.  It's very
configurable, fast, and feature-rich.  I think list price is $229 now.
You can get more info by calling 1-800-547-9902 or +1 503.641.6000

FWIW I use Editeur. You can have several doc's open at once, in addition 
to the requirements you have above. I don't know where to ftp to get it 
though. I got off CompuServe. Shareware cost $20. BTW it's an ASCII 
editor in case you are worried about that.

For that price it sounds like a word processor.  I'm just looking
for a simple Windows editor, that's a little more powerful than
Notepad...

I'm going to try out Editeur (if I can find it) but I'm still interested
in what else is out there.

Thanks much,
Nancy

Try Gator Edit.  It has multiple windows, right mouse button editing functions,
configurable toolbars, and lots of little extras like being able to open
autoexec.bat, config.sys, win.ini, and system.ini with a single click.

It's shareware and you can test drive it for thirty days without a single
nag! $25 for the licence which, once you've used it, you'll agree is a
bargain.  I can't remember the filename, but it's at cica and the TelSim
mirror sites I'm sure.  Contact the author, [email-masked] and I'm
sure he'll point you right at the filename.

Oh yes .... word wrap you ask?  But of course!  :-)
