Information about “BLACKBEARD”

Programmers -- here's an editor that can perform just about every task
you'll need to have done.  This is due to its windowing capacity (13!),
work-horse text formatter, macro capabilites, and integral mouse
driver. It works well for source code editing in structured languages
such as Pascal, C, Fortran, etc.

While its primary use is for source code editing, it also has some
wordprocessing features (reformats, centers, cut and paste, etc.) to
ease your housekeeping/documentation chores.

    BLACKBEARD is a programmer's editor that performs just about every task
a programmer needs. This is probably due to its windowing capacity

editing in structured languages such as Pascal, C, Fortran, etc.

    While its primary use is for source code editing, it also has some
wordprocessing features (reformats, centers, cut & paste, etc.) to ease up
on your housekeeping/documentation chores.
