The Slave and TabSlave Editors

These are simple text editors, with the standard basic functions for text editing with a couple of features added to make working with PGOPHER easier:

1. When starting a fit from PGOPHER (or other feature using external files), the contents of all modified open slave editor files are saved to disk.
2. Right clicking on the assigned lines marks in the plot window or points in the residual plot can bring the slave editor to the front and move the cursor to the relevant line.

It is also optimized for handling text files from different operating systems, and can read and write files with any of the standard (Windows, Mac or Unix) line endings.

The TabSlave version only differs in allowing multiple files to be open at once in different tabs.

Usage

In use it is a simple text editor. The only point that needs care is that if the automatic save feature is enabled, then if the file name is not set (as for a new file) or the file can't be written then PGOPHER will not run fits. The slave editor window will normally come to the front in these circumstances.
