KEDIT
Description
A multi-platform programmers text editor that is a functional clone of XEDIT developed by the Mansfield Software Group. For macro programming purposes the DOS and MS Windows versions come with their own REXX like interpreter called KEXX as does the OS/2 version, but the latter can also make use of the REXX version built into the OS. Originally developed as a text mode application for DOS and OS/2 with the OS/2 version being very popular for a time, later a MS Windows GUI version was added and development of the text mode versions stopped more or less, but the company continued to support the text mode versions.
In 2014 the proprietors of the company announced that they would be winding the company down slowly and have discontinued sales of all their products except for existing customers.
