How to write an editor - Introduction - by Aiwendil

How to write an editor.

Written by Aiwendil (aiwendil@altavista.net) for friends-of-fpc (.org).

This will explain one way to write an texteditor that will compile on most platforms (as long as it has the units crt and dos (dos might be replaced with something more appropriate for the platform that is intended as target, but then all file-operations will change slightly)).

This will be made in an way that is quite easy to update, expand, and most important, it will be made in several parts.. all written when I get around to it. :)

And the normal legal horrors.
