Since I sold my Amiga I havent seen a decent editor. On my Amiga I had
Cygnus ED which I used all the time. But now when I am sitting at my IBM-clone
I miss my CED.

At the university I use UNIX-machines and their editor is EMACS. As far as I
know this editor is the most powerfull editor ever! BUT it is VERY user
unfriendly! It has no menus and the help function is very cryptic, too - that
is, when you are a EMACS-beginner like me.

So...

I decided to start a project called The Perfect Editor.

I want to make the best editor EVER! But I dont think I can do that on my own
(I am still a novice programmer). So if you want to help me develop a public
domain editor that is better that the commercial editors please mail me.

I got this idea because I saw FractInt and PV-Ray for my PC and these programs
are so great that it seems impossible that they are public domain (but they
ARE!).

If you want to join please mail me!

If you know a newsgroup where this note would be relevant (and you dont find
it there) please re-post this article.

All my next postings (concerning PED) will go to: comp.editors
