There will be an out of schedule meeting held by the Midlands User Group (MUG), at which the group’s own John Rickman will discuss the use of StrongED as a scripting tool when programming in Python.
If you use version 4.69 of StrongED and pop to the StrongED website you’ll be able to download version 4.69f14 of the software. That is to say the fourteenth ‘full release’ of version 4.69. The download file contains all ‘modes’ installed to ensure they are compatible with this release.
Okay, not really: ‘f13’ means thirteenth full release, and is not a reference to Friday the 13th! Fred Graute has released an update to StrongED. The application was originally developed by Guttorm Vik, who described it, modestly, as a general purpose text editor, allowing you to edit any type of file whose contents were textual in nature, or which could be easily converted to text, such as BASIC programs.
An updated version of StrongED has been made available by Fred Graute. A new full release of version 4.69, it therefore sees its ‘f’ suffix incremented, bringing it up to 4.69f12 – the twelfth such release.
Promises to stay out of trouble and on the straight and narrow If you point your web browsers at the StrongED website, you’ll be able to download StrongED 4.69f11 – the eleventh full release of StrongED 4.69. According to Fred Graute, who now develops StrongED, the download contains a copy of the application with all modes installed, to ensure they are compatible with this version.
If you were using 4.69f9, you should probably upgrade… to 4.69f9. Fred Graute has released another new version of StrongED, a general purpose and very powerful, yet easy to use text editor. The software, which is an ideal replacement for the vastly less-featured Edit that has been supplied with all RISC OS computers since the days of Acorn, can load any type of file, and be configured to recognise certain types and behave in particular ways as a result.
Popular text editor StrongED has just seen its ninth full release of version 4.69 – aka version 4.69f9 – a release that fixes a number of bugs found in the previous release. Full details of the fixes can be found in the ‘Changes’ file within the download zip.
Announcement from Fred Graute, 1st September, 2013 Hi, I’m pleased to announce that StrongED 4.69 is now available. Please note that this is a minimal release that contains only BaseMode. Other modes that you may wish to use have to be downloaded separately from the website (Download page -> Modes database).
WimpInfo is a small application that was previously supplied by Quantum Software, and is now hosted here on RISCOSitory after Stuart Halliday announced he was shutting down the software house.
If you sometimes find your RISC OS desktop a bit cluttered (which speaking personally would make it much like my real desktop) one solution is to close a few windows (or in the case of my actual desk, put some stuff away). Another solution is to run a piece of software that expands the size of the desktop beyond the visible area shown on screen, and move some of your windows into other spaces, ready for access when necessary.
