The pedit family of text editors, a replacement for Palm's built-in "Memos" [aka "Memo Pad"]

pedit, pedit32, and peditPro pack a myriad features which makes them perfect tools for anyone using the palm for serious text editing. Even casual writers will appreciate pedits' simple but rich and efficient interface.

peditPro is the flagship of the pedit family of editors, combining pedit and pedit32 into one single Dynamic Input Area [DIA] compatible application. It also has additional features such as encryption which are not supported by either pedit or pedit32.

pedit32 is identical to pedit except that it breaks the infamous 4K barrier on all Palm Powered handhelds and extends the maximum size of a simple memo to 32K.

Note. Please read the pedit vs pedit32 comparison before you decide to install pedit32.

Note. I recommend that you use peditPro. To be honest, I see no reason for using pedit or pedit32 since peditPro is so much superior to them. I keep pedit and pedit32 for historical reasons. Occasionally, a few users with esoteric setups might benefit from them. If you register pedit or pedit32 and later you wish you had peditPro, ask me for advice on upgrading to the latter.

Note. All these pedits import and export DOC files, so that your palm's available RAM is the only factor which limits the size of your memos.

peditLight has all the essential editing functions of pedit, and it requires approximately 200 Kb less RAM.

peditCombo consists of pedit and pedit32 in one package.

Note. What's the point of peditCombo? I have no idea. I created peditCombo only because a few users requested it. If you register peditCombo and later you change your mind, ask me for a complimentary peditPro.

Use peditUpgrade to upgrade any registered pedit to peditPro version 8.xx.

peditFixer will solve almost all reported problems.

Almost all the remaining problems reported by users is that they try to enter their password into the wrong version of pedit. Please keep in mind that there are several members of the pedit family, and that they all require different passwords.

pToolSet is a Dynamic Input Area [DIA] compatible collection of tools for all Palm Powered handhelds which are at your disposal without quitting your current application. It is the OS 3.5+ equivalent of HackMaster extensions.

Use pToolSetUpgrade to upgrade any registered pToolSet to version 8.xx.

Use pToolSetPro [aka pToolSetProEnabler] to add additional features to your pToolSet. pToolSet will tell you if you need to use pToolSetPro.

pScriptRunner is a collection of 59 applications for your Palm Powered handheld. Each of these applications runs [triggers, plays] a pScript as long as you have pToolSet and/or LapTopHack and, optionally, a pedit installed.

LapTopHack is a HackMaster extension for all Palm Powered handhelds which makes your handheld perform like a LapTop computer. LapTopHack is equally useful with or without an external keyboard.

Use LapTopHackUpgrade to upgrade any registered LapTopHack to version 8.xx.

NOTE. LapTopHack is not Palm OS 5+ compatible.

pScriptRunner is a collection of 59 applications for your Palm Powered handheld. Each of these applications runs [triggers, plays] a pScript as long as you have pToolSet and/or LapTopHack and, optionally, a pedit installed.

dbCleanerUpper is a spring house-cleaning application for eliminating the footprints of the deleted records which keep accumulating in your databases. It is recommended if you do not use DeskTop conduits for your built-in applications of your Palm Powered handheld.

EventAnalyzerHack is a HackMaster extension for anyone who is interested in the inner workings of the Palm OS. It is an indispensable tool for those who need to find out how events are generated by user interaction. It is especially useful for both veteran and novice developers.

grepHack is a no-nonsense plain-vanilla cousin of superFinderHack.

NOTE. grepHack is not Palm OS 5+ compatible.

listNavigatorHack and menuNavigatorHack are HackMaster extensions for all Palm Powered handhelds which complement the software drivers of all external keyboards by providing essential LapTopHack functionality in a package which needs only a fraction of the memory required by LapTopHack.

NOTE. listNavigatorHack and menuNavigatorHack are not Palm OS 5+ compatible.

printHack is a HackMaster extension for all Palm Powered handhelds which allows you to print practically any text directly from your application, and even from "i-Tips" windows, from the "FIND" dialog, and so forth. It works in conjunction with either PalmPrint or TealPrint.

superFinderHack is a HackMaster extension for all Palm Powered handhelds which allows you to have a tremendous amount of flexibility in your "FIND" SilkScreen searches, and it replaces the standard Palm "Find" dialog and similar third party utilities.

NOTE. superFinderHack is not Palm OS 5+ compatible.

TimeSetter allows you to set your Palm Powered handheld's internal clock to the exact second.
