It is intended for those who want a powerful editing tool, but are not prepared to spend a wealth of energy into learning and configuring their applications. Edith is low-budget commercial software. Two month evaluation licences are available free of charge. Without a licence or evaluation licence, the Edith package will refuse to save files. Licences are independent of the software, and frequent updates are available through the ZFC web pages.
All operations make sensible use of multiple selections.
Split search and replace functions with or without wildcards, based on the multiple selection facility. Separate incremental quick search function with target completion. Dribbles can be applied simultaneously to a selected set of lines. Edith starts quicker than e.g. XEmacs or Nedit, and ensures that you are not editing the same file twice on the same screen.
