I was a brief-lover until I stumbled across a shareware editor written
by a programmer who wanted an editor that did everything he wanted. He
wrote it, called it Boxer, and has updated and upgraded it continually
with great features. It has links to most popular compilers (and you can
add your own), is has the "column cut and paste" like brief does,
it also has 50 editable clipboards, so when you cut or copy something,
you can save it on one of the clipboards (buffer in a window) for use
later, it has excellent search and replace with optional grep, it has
sorting of columns, upper-case, lower-case of marked blocks, alpha,
_complete_ online help with user-definable help pages that you can add
for your own functions, keystroke record and playback macros, macro
editor, completely definable keyboard so you can emulate another editor
should you desire, and it comes with loadable keymaps for Brief, Emacs,
Wordstar, and other emulations, and much more.
No, I'm not selling it, just a very happy user. If anyone is
interested, you can contact the author (the editor is $35-$50,
depending on which package you elect to buy; and it is download-
able from many sites, including wustl.archive.edu - not sure about
that name, but it mirrors almost _everything_ - so people can
try it first.) at
BOXER Software
P.O. Box 3230, Peterborough, NH 03458 - 1-603-924-6602
He also has an 800 number that you can probably get by dialing
1-800-555-1212 and asking for "Boxer Software."
Check it out, it really is a great buy.
