    DCTEdit. I used that at one time with good results.

    Can't say I know it, I'll check it out tomorrow. Thanks, Al

    Wow, this one is a blast from the past... I did try openedit and although I like the look of it, it wasn't playing ball in the system very well.

    You'll have to hit Tiny up for the OpenEdit! source and port/compile for
    linux :)

    i have found this one, but its pascal and probably not made to work in
    linux
    https://www.github.com/wwiv/openedit

    with 0 pascal knowledge i tried to use freepascal for arm to compile
    something out of it on the Raspberry Pi, but with no luck :)

    Mine's probably not much better.. Haven't looked at Pascal since... must've been about 93-4, both TP5 and Orca/Pascal on the GS. Generally needed assistance to sort problems out.

    I'd have to guess the serial stuff will be the biggest problem initially. But that stuff was always hard yakka to me to try and sort out. When it came to serial work in tp5 I had to resort to a certain amount of inline assembly. I never got any of the serial interface units to work properly.

    There are a lot of bugs I created when removing the registration crap,
    so I released Sabreedit which is the source I purchased, which was
    Turboedit. LOL

    It would take a lot of work to rip out all the com routines and port
    to linux. Be much easier to start from scratch.

    ... It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.

    the infos.
