I remember using The Boxer, console based editor last century. This was on OS/2, but I seem to recall it was available for Windows too. Not sure though.

- rhabarba 6y agoThere (was and) is a Boxer text editor for Windows, a commercial BRIEF successor. Its developer, Boxer Software, was founded in the early 90s, so it could have had an OS/2 version once.
- craigching 6y agoNice! I’ll have to check that out! I used BRIEF back in the early 90’s developing plant monitoring/management software. Our products ran on DOS and Windows after that. I’d been using emacs at school, but BRIEF was our editor of choice for this. The column copy and paste is something I still haven’t found as intuitive as BRIEF in any other editor.
- rhabarba 6y agoGRIEF is an open-source BRIEF clone, it can probably do that. (The article made me try it. I found and reported a few macOS problems, but the Windows version seems to be functional. I might keep it.)
