Hi all,

TE text editor v1.50 for CP/M & Z80 has just been released!

Its major change is TECF, a configuration tool for TE.

It uses CF files with key / value configuration pairs (a sort of INI files).

Is there a version of TE, which if run under CPM3 (generic), will detect screen size on startup from the config bytes near start of BIOS (as VT100DYN sets, with info from terminal)?
I thought these screen-size configuration bytes in BIOS were a "standard".

On Github I noticed that all the pre-built flavours of TE sound as though they have fixed screen size.

Hi Richard,

Please check the new v1.60 of TE.

It supports new configuration variables for the screen size.

Hope it helps.

TE v1.60 for CP/M & Z80 has been just released!

It adds the following optional configuration variables:

# Screen height: 18..255 -- uncomment and change if needed
#screen.rows = 25

# Screen width: 64..255 -- uncomment and change if needed
#screen.columns = 80

I hope that helps with "non standard" screen sizes.

Thank you, that will be a help but perhaps a future version can pickup and use the bios parameters for current screen size on application startup (CP/M 3)

.. thank you for this editor - looks very nice and useful.

Could you add a sentence to the README on the main repository page about memory restrictions: does TE hold the file completely in memory or is it able to work with larger files (e.g. > 64 KB) by automatic blocking?

TE loads the whole file in memory.

I'll update the README with this info., thanks.
