editor...

I think text-mode editors have some problems in text formatting because they 
are text-mode from the beginning. Their programmers knew only 80x25 chars 
screen mode and programmed for this resolution. Later, there appeared GUI 
solutions that could correctly wrap the text in any window size and were 
designed to do it from the beginning, so this feature works fine in FTNed. For 
example, if I resize this window, both my text (white) and your text (yellow) 
is wrapped correctly and the "AH>" quoting mark stands at the beginning of each 
quoting line, no matter what the char width of the window is. So, if some 
editor cannot wrap text properly, it is the problem of that editor and should 
be solved by the developer (if he still works on that project). Otherwise, 
maybe it's time to switch to a modern editor which follows the requirements of 
the time.


Bye, Anatoliy.
