    7 I does not appear that eFTE or FTE are being actively developed. They last released a new version in 2009 and 2011 respectively. I have worked on eFTE2 off and on since 2009 when it became my text editor for programming. Being a typical programer I didn't bother much with help files or with fit and finish. While I always intended to release eFTE2 the things it needed to make it appealing to others were always on the back burner. I even made presentations on it at several Warpstocks in an attempt to motivate (shame) myself into getting it into releasable shape.

    99Well it almost didn't happen again. As I was finishing some documentation updates I decided to look at one last possibility for fixing a trap we believe is actually caused by estyler. What I did was run eFTE with its logging turned on. This didn't help solve the estyler problem but it did reveal yet another fit and finish issue 3 actually. I loaded the log file into eFTE2 and used the scrollbar slider to move to the bottom of a file with almost 200,000 lines. At a point about 1/3 of the way to the bottom of the file the slider kept going but the file stopped scrolling. At 64k lines it was done. Well I can't very well release a text editor that can't scroll to the bottom of its own log file. I knew it was the math to account for a SHORT which was too small for all the lines but where was this code. This added a day to getting ready for the release. Most of it was spent looking for what turned out to be 2 different place that needed the fix (lifted from FM/2).
