Commentary

This is a small, easy to follow text editor written in Pascal. It is fun to modify, especially if you are a Pascal programmer looking for a simple text editor to work with. At less than 900 lines of source code, even novice programmers can figure out how it works. A great program to learn how text editors operate.

It can be compiled with FreePascal, Turbo Pascal, or Borland Pascal.
