Hi guys.
I tried to copy some source from here for compiling and ran into the old "stray '\240' in program" error. I tried MicroGoldED, MutliEdit, NotePad, Ed and Memacs. None filtered it out nor did I see any option to filter it down to basic ASCII.
I also tried my own program that cuts off the high bit and can replace non-ASCII chars but found it just messes up all the lines and caused an error in the code.
So what Amiga/OS4 programs are there or editors that can save a program in generic ASCII?
I use CygnusEd.
Change all Alt-Space to Space.
I am quite sure that some of the free editors you mentioned can do this, too.
You might have to disable "Text Gadget Filter" in Prefs/IControl.
I'll test this, thanks. GoldED has some kind of CygnusEd mode. On Linux it was easy enough, just load into a text editor and save out. Somehow doing this wasn't as easy on the Amiga. Perhaps I need some kind of programmer text mode that masks it to pure ASCII or UTF-8.
