nano is another wysiwyg editor and is a competitor to pico. Pico has the pine version which is restricted as to what can be done in terms of source code which was the original rationalle for writing nano and there's the alpine version of pico which is open source. Tangential to the versions of pico is pilot. It comes with alpine sometimes and is sometimes available as alpine-pilot and that's a file management utility like nswp and cweep used to be for dos. The screen magnifier users have used xtree which is an analog to pilot. The mc midnight commander program is also analogous to pilot except pilot is accessible where mc is not.On Tue, 4 Jan 2011, John J. Boyer wrote:
You should also be able to download nano. I've used that on the Mac with great satisfaction.

If you must have wysiwyg you can run ex as vi or perhaps vim or perhaps elvis.On Tue, 4 Jan 2011, Tim Burgess wrote:Hi, Can anybody offer any advice as to a simple text editor suitable for programming on the Mac that's friendly with VO? I'm using GCC from the command line, rather than get bogged down in Xcode, so I just need something that won't expand tabs to spaces, etc.. Thanks in advance. Best wishes.
