Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Interesting
I WROTE a multi-language "word processor". It was for a publishing company that needed to create dictionaries in various languages.

The was 1st year of VGA time frame.

I also creates a font editor for them since they needed loadable fonts and they did not exist commercially yet.

Damn, I loved that program.

Took me about 2 months of hard core 20 a hour day hacking.
New Couldn't have been yours -
Clear language problem in the laughable efforts at 'help' (see, you'd Never have done something like That); minimal drivers for a couple or so, dot-matrix printers.. fortunately gotten on eval and returned.

Can't even recall time-frame now - early/mid '90s. Maybe yours would have been the keeper, but IIRC my friend ended up, much later, with Word6 add-ins to do the necessaries - while learning about fonts, type-faces and all that Stuff.

(And ~that stage, my first momentary immersion in industrial-strength Unix - to help with the sending/receiving of that-all, a long way across the nascent 'net' via Pine: Hey, we Won, too! Got props from the IT guys who'd missed the simplicity of teachin folks to make at least minimalist use of their assigned /Home repository, back there at IU. Loved. It. Our scheme worked for the local Macs, too..)

So then, how's come your group didn't CYA on the source for this indispensable moribund ap?


But moving right on back in time -
Me.. I truly MISS Tornado Notes! and the philosophy behind it.. never could wade through Info Select's (though verra nicely-done) Overkill; that plus the probability of repeated Doze-style 'up'grades into whatever next formats / conversions.

Hmmmm.. something Tornado-like for *nix out there?
What a great thing to run on minimalist Puppy Linux!
Instant free-form db for non-dbers, for us legions who shall never construct a sorting algorithm. Dedicate an ancient laptop to it? free some neurons.
