I used to use WordWorth, but it's more than just a text editor.

AFAIK the famous CygnusED is not freeware but there's a good alternative : EdWordPro http://www.ai.sri.com/~reddy/edword/

Janoeditor!
Great for non-power users. Just the right amount of features (including Macro recording) and looks like a normal classic shell window. |

I've always found BED (Blacks Editor) to be useful.

Edword used to be my favourite, but now it's Microgolded (GoldEd got a little too bloated).
See screenshot of my A500 Microgolded setup. (had to load config in WinUAE to take the screenshot - screenshot can't capture rainbow background on real A500) |

I use Cygnus Editor aswell... Incredibly quick and powerful, handles any file you can throw at it - what more would you want?

Thanks for all the input. Has anybody here ever tried Emacs-19.25? Is it any good?
I used to use Emacs at uni and it was superb for text editing. |

Yeah man use Cygnus ED, but don't get that version that only allows editing of files 5k or less ?!?
or if you are editing C, I would recommend Memacs in the Tools drawer on the Workbench: partion. |

That's sad. Download it somewhere else or update your archiving software. IMHO GoldED is the best text editor for amiga.
