FilePal - Save file info based on type
Version: <19-Jun-2001>
Author:
Jean Héroux, with some modifications by me.
Author:
Platform: TSE Pro 2.x/3.x/4.x
FilePal will save, for a given file,
the current position and bookmarks, plus
editing parameters Insert, AutoIndent,
WordWrap, Margins, TabType, TabWidth,
ExpandTabs, EOLType and EOFType.
Default values for these parameters may
also be associated with extensions,
directories and drives. Put a file on
AutoTrack and the current position,
parameters and bookmarks will be saved
automatically each time the file is quit
and restored on reloading. FilePal keeps
track of any number of files, even if
not loaded during the previous editing
session. FilePal also supports automatic
execution of specific macros linked to
filenames, extensions, directories and
drives.
This version fixes an issue with Long File Names.

OnlyOne - Force only a single copy of TSE to run in a Win32 system. All edited files get sent to that copy
Version: <17-Jun-2002>
Authors: Rick VanNorman, with updates by me.
Platform: TSE Pro 3.x, 4.x
"OnlyOne" allows only one copy of TSE to run on a windows 9x/NT/2000
platform. When you edit a file from outside of the editor, the single
instance of TSE gets notified. It then opens the file, and brings
itself to the foreground.
Updated to solve focus issues under Win98 and Windows 2000
It can also now work with programs that expect the editor to
terminate only when you are finished editing a file. (When you
quit the file, TSE stays open, but control returns to the calling
application.)
Updated to work properly with the Becky Mail Client
(allowing you to use TSE as Becky's message editor)
It also has the ability to autosave all files when it looses focus.
See included OnlyOne.txt file.

TSE Macros - in Beta Testing
I am currently developing the following macros. Comments and bugreports
especially welcome! They should be reasonably stable and documented,
but please be especially careful with them. Remember, as indicated in
the license for all of my macros, you use this software at your own
risk. The software comes with no warrantee whatsoever, including the
implied warrantees of merchantability or fitness for a particular use.
Because these are still in beta testing, some features and/or interfaces
may change in future versions.
Archiver - Replacement save commands allowing for incremental backups
BETA: 0.9.6 (Aug 9, 2002)
System for creating incremental backups (file.000, file.001,
etc.).
It will optionally store all backups in a central
repository, maintaining a complete directory hierarchy
containing incremental backups of every file you have
edited, keeping up to 1000 of the most recent versions
of each file.
Platform: TSE Pro 2.x/3.x/4.x
Requirements: The DOS version of TSE needs the 'Profile' package.

and families. You can add, remove and edit
relations for a given individual or family by
picking from a list.

- Can automatically set find options based on context (e.g. setting
the 'lg' options when a block is marked in the current file),
- Optional perl-style regular expressions

PerlMod - TSE Support for Perl modules (view module docs, edit modules by name)
BETA: v0.9.3 (Jun 19, 2002)
Allows you to edit or view the docs for a Perl module by
name (e.g. Apache::Session, Net::FTP).
The name is picked up from the current line in the
file you are editing, so all you have to do is move
the cursor to a 'use' or 'package' statement in your
Perl program and press a key to edit or view the
module!
For editing, it will search for the module in
a list of module directories on your system.
To view the docs for a module it will launch
your web browser and navigate to the documentation
on http://www.perldoc.com/ by default, although
this also can be configured.
Also included is a simple Perl CGI script
that you can install on your own web server
to view documentation for the modules you have
installed on that system.
Platform: TSE Pro 2.x/3.x/4.x
Requirements: The DOS version of TSE needs the 'Profile' package.

Ringlets - Allow TSE to maintain more than one ring of files
BETA: v0.9.2 (Jun 19, 2002)
Ringlets lets you have multiple rings of files in
TSE. It's like having multiple virtual editors
inside of a single editing session!
You can use these rings for whatever purpose you
like. Here are some common uses:
- Load several large multi-file projects, and keep
them all independent by putting each into a
separate ring. Unlike using separate instances of
TSE, files common to both projects will only be
loaded into TSE once. A simple project loader
macro (LoadProj) is included.
- During an editing session you can create a
temporary ring containing just a couple of
frequently-used files so you can switch back and
forth between them easily.
- Newly edited files get filtered into their own
ring based on file type (this is very powerful
when used with the OnlyOne macro: for instance you
could use TSE as your web browser's source viewer,
and have all these files go into a separate ring).
- You can create an Instant Filter: a new ring which
contains a subset of files in the current ring,
based on file type. For instance, you could
create an Instant Filter to list all files in the
current ring which have the extension ".txt".
Some other features:
- Buffer lists can switch between displaying
filename only, or the full path. Additionally,
you can setup plugin macros to display a friendly
name for certain files (e.g. the <title> of an
HTML file). Plugins for HTML files and Perl
modules are included.
- Sort each ring's buffer list alphabetically.
Tweak the order by moving individual files up and
down in the list.
- Editing variables (tab type, margins, etc) and the
current directory are saved separately in each
ring.
- Files can be in more than one ring at once. The
built-in virtual [all] ring contains every loaded
file. The [unfiled] ring contains files that
aren't in any other user-defined ring.
- The Find or Replace 'all files' option is now
limited to search only the files in the current
ring. If you want to search every loaded file,
you can use the [all] ring).

UnixEdit - Edit files on a Unix Filesystem via your Windows copy of TSE.
BETA: v0.1.5 (Jun 19, 2002)
Type "e /etc/passwd" on your Unix system,
and the file appears in your Windows TSE
editing session!
This package consists of a shell script on the
Unix side, and a watcher macro on the TSE side.
For this package to work you will need a
samba share on the Linux/Unix system, and
access to this share from the machine
running TSE. You do not need to share
the entire Unix filesystem; just a single
directory will do.

Miscellaneous Bits and Pieces
My UI and various macros
Here you will find all of my .ui files, and the .s files that aren't yet
polished enough for human consumption. Recently, with the beta release
of my Ringlets macro (see above), there's not much here of interest
anymore.
But this package does my own <ahem> unique
set of keyboard mappings, for the brave of heart and the light
of finger. You have been warned.

Buildmac
All of these packages were automatically bundled with my
buildmac system, which consists of a (a) Perl script designed to run
under Windows, (b) some configuration files, and (c) a profound absense of
documentation.
The buildmac system makes my life a lot easier by pulling together
the latest version of my macros from my live TSE macro directory,
along with all the docs and support files for each package.
It conveniently pulls all the package meta information (package name,
version info, description, etc.) from the source file; then it puts
all this in the docs and the FILE_ID.DIZ file.
UPDATE: Buildmac is now over 20 times faster, after I removed
some astonishingly stupid code!
Finally it zips all the packages up and rebuilds this HTML page using the
same meta information.
You can download the buildmac system here. Use at your own risk.
