About StrongED
--------------
StrongED is a programmer's text editor. Although StrongED is a very
fully-featured and powerful editor, it is also surprisingly easy to use.
StrongED can be used to edit anything from program sources to shopping
lists, emails and web pages.
A few StrongED related efforts I'd like to plug
-----------------------------------------------
Bent Bracke has written an excellent GUI-based editor for Modefiles:
http://sedmodeed.sourceforge.net/
Stewart Brookes has created an additional toolbar for StrongED:

Gavin Wraith has written a couple of articles describing how to apply
scripts to texts loaded into StrongED:
