It was Cygnus Editor, of course! :)
Your experience is interesting, and oddly I have almost the opposite experience. My guess is that it's somewhat tied to the respective phases of life we might have been in at the time. I was 5 when I started out on the C64, and while I got fairly deep into it, a lot of those memories essentially got wiped a few years later. The Amiga years, mostly from when I was 10 to 15, on the other hand, are crystal clear for me. And then there's he late 90s PC era, which is blurry again.

It later became a full fledged IDE apparently. https://www.softwareandcircuits.com/division/amiga/products/cubic/index.html https://www.softwareandcircuits.com/division/amiga/products/...
- mrandish 4y agoWow, you just triggered a memory cascade for me. I used Cygnus all the time and had totally forgotten that name. Re: phase of life: I was a teen when I got my first computer, a Radio Shack Color Computer. I can still remember 6809 opcodes and specific memory addresses for that computer.
