Old lisp routine from the dark ages of ACAD 12

[Mlabell]

Her is a lisp routine that we used for many years. Then when we converted to Autocad 2000 this routine was written off as unusable. Now people have been asking for me to "convert it" so we can have some of the wonderful tools this lisp provided, but it seems daunting. I have dabbled in some basic lisping, and this is written prior to my time. I was still in 7th grade when this lisp was written!!!@@@! So if anyone can help me, or at least get me on the right track I would appreciate it much.

...many years, yes I can see that.

I can not fully test the program because I miss 3 files
C:\EASYTEXT\EASYTEXT.DAT
C:\EASYTEXT\EASYHELP
C:\EASYTEXT\EASYEDIT
to continue working I need the missing files.

I have changed a few simple things in the attached file, you have to test

Program removed, probably the best thing happend but I do not think Midwest has any doubt about a 14 years old program.
But it force Mark to have a deeper look into AutoCAD 2000 and probably find better things there.

I did run the program and was able to get it to works in AutoCAD 2002. but you will need all the file in the right place on you computer before it work. The program is set for a 30 day free trail.

It depends. And is way over my head for an explanation. I hope this may help.

It depends...

Ok that is long enough.
But you have to do a registration, it is not enough to just write "Copyright to ... am I right ?

What exactly did the lisp routine do? Why not just start from scratch at this point???
