Common information
MultiTextor is text editor that is designed for working in difference environment. It uses a little resources and works in console mode. Console mode is used in such famous files managers as: FAR (MS Windows) and Midnight Commander (Linux/Unix). Editor has usable and flexible interface that includes menu, dialogues and allows to work as with only the keyboard so with the mouse. The editor user interface is ease and it allows an effective working as for beginners so for advanced users. Editor is designed for working with plain text files (without special formatting). Editor has a lot of standard editing command and additional facilities that exists only in power editors: functions list for C/C++/Java, very big UNDO/REDO buffer, files comparison, working with sessions and etc.

Limitations
Maximal editing file size is about 2Gbytes (for freeware edition it's about 1Mbytes). Editor doesn't create any temporary files and uses a little memory while working. File loading time is proportional of file size, so it's fully scanned during file loading. The loading of big files may need some minutes on the slow computers.
Maximal length of editing string is 4096 Bytes. More long strings will be split.
All editing commands are putted to UNDO/REDO buffer except of command with very big blocks that includes more than 10000 lines. Such commands will not be saved in UNDO/REDO buffer. For freeware edition there is UNDO buffer only.
Minimal file size for backup creating is 32 Bytes.
Maximal file size for backup creating is 1000000 Bytes.
Editor doesn't control for file link opening. The file that opened by name and by its link both is looks like two different files. It's possible to have any problem in such case.
Supported code pages is: IBM437, IBM850, IBM852, IBM866, CP1250, CP1251, CP1252, ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-2, ISO-8859-3, ISO-8859-5, ISO-8859-15, KOI8-R, KOI8-U. It's clear working with files in the different code pages simultaneously. While text is copied from one code page to another the text encoding is made.
Supported environment
At the current time there are the MultiTextor implementations for MS Windows (all 32/64 bits versions), Linux (kernels 2.4 è 2.6), FreeBSD, Mac OS X and QNX4. In the UNIX systems editor works in console mode, in the remote mode (telnet/SSH) and in XWindows terminal. Another environment implementation may be added in the future.
