tideq - a text editor

This is a text editor for Linux/XWindows to edit plain text files, in special source code for programs and home pages.

It's a native X11 aplication, but resembles a text mode with classic style key commands. Drop-down menus and use with pointing devices are also available. All key assignments, colors and fonts are easily user configurable.

File sizes and number of open files are limited only by available RAM. The text encoding defaults to UTF-8, but also handles ISO-8859 and DOS codepages. Line endings with LF/CR/CRLF.

tideq is an evolving software and this is the first public version.There can and will be errors. It undergoes continued work to wringe out the bugs, improve on existing functions and add new ones.
