Main - Projects - Mmmnice Editor

Mmmnice Editor (or simply MED) is a fullscreen DOS-based text editor written in C using OpenWatcom. The editor works in all DOS-based machines, even the original IBM PC. It can edit files larger than 64K as long as there is enough free memory. Also the speed of the editor is comparable with other editors available for the original IBM PC and from my tests it seems to be one of the faster editors for it.

Some screenshots from the editor running inside PicoXT:

The editor's help screen



The editor is slightly modelled after WordStar, BRIEF and Turbo Pascal IDEs, so it should feel natural to most people who have used these editors (or one of the most known Linux editors that use a similar keyset, Joe).

You can download version 1.02 from here. The archive includes the editor, a text file about it, its source code and a WMAKE makefile. The editor is licensed under the zlib license.

Although MED is currently only for DOS, i plan to make a Windows and Linux version at some point. The Windows version will probably feature its own GUI instead of being a console application (but the Linux version will be console only so i can run it via SSH).
