File Listing ============ The following files should have been included with this distribution: Readme.txt This text file Editor.sis MARM installation of the Editor application EditorW.zip WINS release of the Editor (zip file includes paths for easy extraction) About This Software =================== This application is a plain text editor EPOC. It originally started life as an internal Symbian tool. With the advent of ER5 and Java it became clear some 3rd party developers who were members of the Symbian Developer Network (www.SymbianDevNet.com) would find a text editor useful for editing their Java code under EPOC. The application was therefore tidied up and made available for release. This software has been tested under both ER3 and ER5 and no major problems have been found. ER3 users should not that no file recognizer is supplied at the moment, so .TXT files will not get associated with Editor. Under ER5, Editor recognises text files by MIME so you *will* be able to double-tap them from System, for example, to edit them. Installation Instructions ========================= For MARM, simply copy the Editor.sis file to your EPOC device and double tap it. The installer technologies should take care of the rest. Under WINS, extract the contents of EditorW.zip onto your SDK drive, ensuring you have the option enabled in your unzipper which will 'restore paths' (or similar). Editor has been tested on the Psion Series 5mx, Psion Revo and ER5 WINS emulator. Whilst not tested on other devices, it should run without issue on any machine running ER1-ER5. Known Issues/Omissions ====================== 1. The Editor should save the name of the last used file in its .ini file and try to open that file when you launch it from Extras. This currently does not happen. 2. There is no Help file included with this release. Future plans ============ 1. Fix the above issues 2. Add a 'Go to line' option 3. Add an option to display the current line number at the side of the page History ======= - v1.20(027) 24 January 2000 Initial public release on the Technology Supplement CD for the US Developer Conference, February 2000. - v1.35(040) 30 June 2000 Second public version with several minor bug fixes, released to the Symbian Developer Network website.
