Best DOS editor for programmers?
Gregory Mendez
I'm looking for a good dos editor, for programming ...something which
looks like MS-DOS editor, with pull down menus, a TSR (so i could switch my
editing screen to my output screen easily), and a split screen capability
(so i can
read 2 source code at at time).
thanx

Try qedit it's available as shareware at several download sites. They also
have a couple of commercial versions. Use the shareware first and if you
like contact the company for further info.

If you can find a copy of Borland SPRINT, it beats all other editors
hands down. It is a full macro editor - you compile the entire editor and
you can make it do anything you want.
It handles 24 open files simultaneously and uses up to one-half the
available disk space - no silly ram limits on filesize.
It is very fast, even though it is old 8086 code (there is an upgrade
patch for 486 CPU's.) More recent editors that do use code for modern
CPU's still take a back seat on search/replace and finding text strings.
I have ~250k of source for SPRINT - it automatically detects 7 different
file types such as HTML, Pascal, C, SPRINT documents, etc., and switches
between them so you can use the same function key to format Pascal or C
routines, or full HTML pages.
If you or anyone else is interested, I would be happy to post a link so
you can download it.

Download EDIT.EXE from URL:
http://www.unine.ch/math/Personnel/Assistants/Gautier/Gaut_FTP.htm
You can configure it for compiler / debugger to program
many sources in different programming languages.

I use ie. (But then I'm prejudiced, I wrote it). Freeware as ie100.zip in
simtel msdos/editor directory.

Hi Greg,
My favorit editor is Multi-Edit. It has everything a programmer needs.
- Edit as much files at one time as you want.
- It knows C-syntax by highlighting keywords and comment in different
colors (like the Borland 3.1 DOS IDE)
- You can run make from the editor and catch the messages in a
message window.
- Supports Unix style regular expressions for search and replace.
- Configure key-board short-cuts as you like.
- define your own macros.
- hex mode
- pull down menus
and much more ....

Sounds cool. I've downloaded quite a few assembly language IDEs (many
of them called ASM-Edit), but none of them have been very good. Do you
know where I can find this program?

Hello!
It is really nice, that so many people are suggesting their favourite editor.
But, please, do also mention a valid site where the editor can be downloaded. I
tried several sites, which are given in this item, but unfortunately they were
not valid any more.
Regards, Wolfgang.

My company sells a product, that is a TSR dos editor. It features pulldown
menus, the ability to pop-up over most text-mode programs (in dos-land),
multiple windows, plus other features.
You can download a non-TSR version at
ftp://ftp.semware.com/demo/tsejr4.zip. It is identical to the TSR version,
except that it is a non-TSR program, and so the TSR specific features (like
pasting into the foreground application, etc) are not available.

Best setup is to have two computers networked together. The test
computer runs DOS, the build computer runs NT with a good windows IDE.
When the test computer hangs you can reboot without bringing down your
development system. I setup the autoexec.bat to start the network and
connect to the project directory on the build computer.
If you use MSC, the MSVC 5 IDE is very nice for DOS code development.
The 32 bit BSCMAKE can read browse(.sbr) files from the 16 bit
compiler so the code browser is fully functional. From Windows you
can also access the online help from MSDN and MSVC 1.5.

Try GNU EMACS. It isn't a TSR, but you can easily shell out. It has
*everything* a programmer could want, including syntax highlighting,
multiple windows, compilation-mode, regexp-replace, etc, etc, etc...
Check out ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/em*.
One disadvantage is it's size.

The location of RHIDE has changed indeed:
http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~sho/rho/rhide.html
Since it was designed to be used with DJGPP you may have to change some
settings (and maybe get some other parts of DJGPP (http://www.delorie.com)).
