I KEEP GETTING FATAL ERROR WHEN I TYPE A51 AT MY COMMAND LINE.
I GET TERMINATED.
WHY?
Erik,
I've been trying to ignore this quite bizarre thread, but you fired up my interest!
I remember Brief - Originally written by a company called UnderWare (or rather, at the time I bought a copy, it was them). I always thought the naming was a lovely pun!
For years, I've been wanting an editor that was as comfortable to use as Brief. I've tried quite a few: amongst them one called Crisp which has pretty good Brief emulation and recently SlickEdit which is not so good.
For a reason I can't remember, I decided not to follow up on CodeWright.
Question - Is it really as close to Brief as is suggested? By that, I mean, does it have very good emulation of the original Brief key combinations or does it approximate some?
David.
In conjunction with a job change I lost my beloved brief (I am an ardent non-bootlegger). Thus I started with CodeWright, oh how long ago was that?, using brief emulation for a while (I do not recall any problems). Then I worked with someone that used CodeWright in 'native mode' and, for fun, we did a couple of things with CodeWright and brief we actually found and used a copy of brief.
Even old dogs can learn new tricks and I switched to CodeWright in 'native mode' because I got convinced it was better (could do all brief could and more).
Since then I have only fond memories of brief and have forgotten more than I ever knew about it.
Erik
