-SlyEdit version 1.65 (released on 2019-05-24) is the second full-featured full screen editor for Synchronet, written by ''[[person:nightfox]]'' in JavaScript.  SlyEdit can run in one of two styles, to mimic the look & feel of IceEdit or DCT Edit, two popular BBS message editors from the 1990s.  The style is specified by a command-line argument.  SlyEdit also supports customization of options via a configuration file and colors via theme files.\\+SlyEdit is the second full-featured full screen editor for Synchronet, written by ''[[person:nightfox]]'' in JavaScript.  SlyEdit can run in one of two styles, to mimic the look & feel of IceEdit or DCT Edit, two popular BBS message editors from the 1990s.  The style is specified by a command-line argument.  SlyEdit also supports customization of options via a configuration file and colors via theme files.\\

-SlyEdit will recognize the user's terminal size and set up the screen accordingly.  The width of the edit area will always be 80 characters and support up to 79 characters of text; however, an increased terminal size will provide more room for information to be displayed such as the message area, from/to names, etc.  Also, a terminal height greater than the standard 24 or 25 characters will provide a taller edit area, allowing more of the message to be seen on the screen at a time.\\+SlyEdit will recognize the user's terminal size and set up the screen accordingly.\\

 +1.66 update
 +-----------------
 +For dictionaries with localized spellings, the filenames can have a "-supplemental" at the
 +end of their name before the extension if they only contain words that are unique to a
 +particular region that don't exist for all regions.  Also, dictionary filenames can just
 +contain the language without a localization if they contain words common to all regions.
 +For example:
 +^ Filename                          ^ Description ^
 +| dictionary_en.txt                 | General English dictionary with spellings common to all regions |
 +| dictionary_en-US-supplemental.txt | English word spellings only specific to the US |
 +| dictionary_en-US.txt              | Full English US dictionary |
