When I was 16 years old, I wrote a text editor in BASIC that
would probably have allowed me to edit RFCs.
I wrote a text editor in Basic for the ZxSpectrum that was published
commercially when I was 15.
I guess I could use it to edit RFCs as well if I could find a ZxSpectrum that
still worked to read the program off the cassette tape.
My computing needs have grown somewhat since then.
You are not programming in APL, are you?
That is the only programming language I know, that does not use either ASCII or
EBCDIC.
The modern, not so algorithmic languages like lisp or prolog do rely on ASCII
or EBCDIC.
They cannot use wordstar or word documents. I tried it only once in old MSDOS
times :)
