Text Editor - Almost done
My TextEdit is almost ready for public display. It has proved itself stable while testing the editing part, and it seems to be stable on the file management side also.
I made a few compromises from the original design as I gave up the idea of hybrid file/memory storage of data, for that would mean about half a day’s work more, time which I don’t posess at the moment. Everything is stored in the memory (this means we’ll have a filesize limitation for the opened files), so it’s quite fast. I’ve put a great deal of effort to make sure no pointers get AWOL on me and it seems that I succeeded in doing so. That’s good!
Still left to finish are the copy/cut/paste thingies and the search option. These being done, the TextEdit will get the status Completed. I will release it under GPL on a few programming sites (and get my ass flamed when they’ll see the code) maybe it’ll be helpful to someone.
The deadline is not clear yet, but it’s sure going to be this week (I presume on Thursday).
