STE
From Sonic Retro
STE (or Sonic Text Editor, known more often by it's initials due to the ability to edit other games) is a text editing tool, used for editing the text inside Sonic games, or any game that the user creates an STE compatible template file for. It was created by and is maintained by Overlord. He is rumoured to be considering making a new version of the tool - removing it's existing limits and finally reaching the point where adding new games is not limited by the application itself. The latest version of the tool available is 1.10, and also contains the last version of his SA:DX PC Text Editor tool.
