- What is Emerald Editor?
Emerald Editor is a multi-purpose text editing package currently in development for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and BSD, featuring powerful text manipulation tools to make writing - and programming - a breeze. - Is it free?
In a nutshell, yes. Emerald Editor is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License which allows the software to be distributed for free. The source code is also available from our Subversion repository. - Where can I get it?
Right now it's not ready for download - you can download what we have in the Subversion repository if you want, but unless you're an experienced coder, you're likely to find it won't do what you think - it's not a usable download unless you can compile the software yourself. Full downloads will be made available soon - Who drew the Emerald logos?
A guy known as Nick that turned up in the forum at the start of May 2006 with ideas for logos.
