VI65 text editor A VI implementation for 6502 machines. This is the "manual" of the multi platform VI65 0.2 editor. The editor (and the documentation) is far from finished, and there are a lots of bugs. Maybe the next version will be better ;) Supported platforms: Commodore 64, 128, 16, Plus 4, VIC20 (expanded), PET 40/80. Atari 8bit, Apple II. There's a plugin version for the IDE64 filemanager too. Supported text modes: * C64 - 40/53/64/80x25 (VDC 80x25 on C128) * C128 - 40/53/64/80x25, VDC 80x25 * +4 - 40x25, 53/64/80x23 * C16 - 40x25 * VIC20 - 22x23, 26/35/40x22 * PET - 40/80x25 * ATARI - 40/53/64/80x24 * APPLE II - 40/46/56/80x24 Some text modes use custom 4x8, 5x8 and 6x8 charsets on graphic screen.
