Tech talk - religious wars on editors - and other old time s

A quiet place at the lagoon side for speaking about all and nothing (the financial crisis, sex, your country, sex, hobbies, or...sex)

Anyone remembering dos edit? In edit you could cut by pressing shift+delete, paste with shift+insert and copy by pressing ctrl+insert.

In every windows version at least till xp, these keys still work. And today I accidently found out they work under linux too. Amazing.

By the way: it's Only for text and graphics etc. Don't try shift+delete on a file. It will delete it, not cut.

Xtree pro contained a DOS editor. You could execute and edit within reason. You could apply various masks it was a very useful tool and for quite a while the first program I activated. If you wanted to get serious about editing there was always Norton. I screwed up a few programs with Norton. memories, memories

Hi again!

For those nostalgic of Commodore 64 (and some "horny" games), just check this site:

In the early days of Fortran our teacher gave us a few punch cards. We'd have to submit them to be mailed to our only state university. the cost to process a batch of just 10 cards was an impost on a young teen's pocket!

Along came the Microbee (Australia & ? ) but I got caught up with the Vic-20, taught myself Basic on one. Bought an Atari, plug in cassette for OS but had cassettes for games and other applications. Graduated to C-64! Even got into assembly and machine code!

Now I'm well outstripped. My HTML looks fine, still things I never used, have a smattering of CSS and Javascrïpt. Yeah even dabble in Excel macros and created some MS Access applications.

**** Where would I have been without the existence of "Commodore"? ****

Trucla, thanks for that.

[Still have the old C-64, hasn't been fired for a long time, HDD may need realignment, I've got the 'tools' still if the software hasn't deteriorated and some of those very xxx games of the era!]

If not just google for some emulator and you'll be able to (to a certain extent, of course) re-create the C64 environment.

Cheers!

Here goes another link for C64 lovers:
http://arnold.c64.org/

This one is rather big, as it's for Commodore 64 in general and not specific for 3X.

By the way I've never had a Commodore... ;)

Enjoy!
