What is Zephyr?

Zephyr version 1.0 is a text-editor and list-editor with a wide variety of features, including user-configurable alphabet definition, thus controlling the definition of words and their sorting order. Zephyr is available in both PPC and 68K versions. It is an update to U-Tile+ ... Some features:

• No limit on the number of documents which may be simultaneously (except of course RAM limitations).
• Text documents may be divided up into passages.
• Displaying line numbers in text documents.
• Verification of parentheses in text documents, including nesting of several different pairs such as (), [], {}, /, etc.
• Implementation of list documents, used, for example, for word lists.
• Creating a list of all words in a given text document.
• Searching and replacing, in both text and list documents.
• Various window stacking and tiling options.
• The clipboard supports pictures as well as text, and may be printed.
• Drag and Drop for text (requires System 7.5).
• Implementation of several different alphabets, thus allowing one to configure the action of commands such as:
• conversion to upper case,
• conversion to lower case,
• stripping diacritical marks,
• searching, etc.
• The ability to create one’s own custom alphabet(s).
• Ability to display QuickDraw 3D models (PPC version only).
• Some macro commands.
• Some external plug-ins.
• Some useful bitmap fonts, including one “Embro” which uses ISO-Latin encoding.
