Greetings all. In December I decided to write an ATASCII screen editor for the Atari 8 bits, utilizing my TUI C Library. It's been tested over the past few weeks, and ready for release. I have also included a complete user guide.

I present Mr. Paint.

Mr. Paint is a simple ATASCII text screen editor. It is designed to allow the creation of single screens (40 columns by 24 rows). It is not designed for the creation of ATASCII movies. In other words, it does not record or save cursor movements or other active screen manipulation keystrokes. It is suitable for creating text screens with ATASCII or ASCII content.

Mr. Paint was developed using the C language and compiled with CC65. The user interface highly utilizes my A8CLibrary (Atari 8 Bit C Library) TUI (Text User Interface) routines.

For complete features, user guide, and sample screens, visit my GitHub repo:
github.com/Ripjetski6502/MrPai

Thank you @Atari_BBS for all your assistance with testing and reviewing!
