The text editor sim
sim is a simple, interactive, multi-file text editor designed for screens with monospaced font. It is heavily inspired on the 'vim' and 'sam' text editors, hence the name sim. The main goal of this software is portability. It only depends only on the C89 standard, and tries to minimize the usage of system calls as much as possible, making it easy (or not even necessary) to port to another environment.
Version 0.3.1 released
This version provides a couple of important hotfixes for the 0.3 release
- Improved behavior of fr_calc() when the dot address has different positions (e.g. during insert())
- Improved behavior of fr_calc() when the file buffer is modified
- Fixed an issue where a long input() string would show garbage data
I think fr_update() is finally working as intended now... I guess...
