I released a new version of SlyEdit today, v1.14, which fixes a screen refresh bug (the screen wasn't being refreshed when pressing delete at the end of a line when it had lines below it). It's available here: ftp://digdist.bbsindex.com/bbs/SYNC_JS/SlyEd114.zip

I was wondering...I think I've seen it mentioned in one of the subs (probably on DOVE-Net) that you didn't support Ctrl-A codes & that you were considering making an update for that. Is that in the works?

It is a feature I've considered adding to SlyEdit. However, I haven't been working on it.. I haven't done any SlyEdit development for a little while, but I imagine I'll come back to it at some point.

I thought it came with Synchronet.. It's a JavaScript script called fseditor.js and should be in your sbbs\exec directory. You can also download the latest version from the Synchronet repository.. Here's a link: http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/exec/fseditor.js

:) I like Deuce's FS editor too. It's a decent editor, although I never really got used to it because its commands are different from what I'm used to. I tended to continue using IceEdit or DCT Edit. The main reason I decided to write SlyEdit was because I wanted an editor that didn't need to be run in a virtual DOS machine, which is slow. Since IceEdit and DCT Edit are both DOS apps, they are noticeably slower than a JavaScript message editor in Synchronet.

I think the reason it doesn't support ctrl-A codes is that ctrl-A codes aren't standard.. Ctrl-A codes are a Synchronet thing. One of the reasons I haven't implemented them in SlyEdit yet is because of that reason, and the fact that Synchronet BBSs are often on message networks with other BBSs that use different BBS software which don't understand the Ctrl-A codes. Messages with color codes that other BBS packages don't understand tend to just look funky on those BBSs.

Well most of the time, I post mainly on DOVE-Net and my own networks, where I think most BBSs are running Synchronet. In fact, in all the networks I carry, I think many of the BBSs are Synchronet BBSs, perhaps with the exception of SciNet. I genrally don't use color codes in my message though.

I do want to add support for Ctrl-A color codes in SlyEdit at some point in the future.. Perhaps I'll also add a configuration option for whether or not to allow users to use them so that sysops can disable the feature if they want.

the CTRL-A can always be stripped out before gating to fido. uucp etc..

hehe, that's one of the things that turned me off about fsedit.. The way the quote window moves around threw me off a bit, but I can see how that can be useful. Also, fsedit uses different commands than I'm used to.. I often want to press Ctrl-Q to quote, but in fsedit, Ctrl-Q quits (aborts) the message.
