D. McC: I've been working on some "wee" apps for some time now. The most developed one is WISH Supernotepad 1.2, a simple text and HTML editor <http://www.geocities.com/pa_mcclamrock/supernotepad-2006-ez.tar.gz >. In modified or unmodified form, it might serve the purpose of a "weeEdit." The program script, uncompressed, takes up slightly less than 100 KB. (The WISH acronym, originally derived from the wish interpreter, now stands for Wee Integrated Suite of Helpers, although the "integrated" aspect still needs some work.)
Larry Smith The Wee project (aka the "We" project from Eolas) has not been static, but I have not had much time to work on it. I have integrated supernotepad, a browser (plume), a chat program, draw and paint programs, a notepad, two calculators - a four-banger and the IQ-15 from HP Calculator Simulations, and the tk# spreadsheet. The window manager is much improved, but there are a few more bugs to squash in order to get to a stable release. Eolas's Mike Doyle (MDD) has been funding this.
I'm a home computer user and hobbyist who developed the various functions of WISH Supernotepad because I, or members of my family, needed or wanted them. It was designed to run on Linux, but no doubt it could be made to work on other operating systems (with a bit of assistance from people who know more than I do about those systems). The code is intended to be comprehensible, well organized, and easily modified. Here are some things it can do; let's see if anyone wants to compare them with things they think a "weeEdit" should or shouldn't do.
