Hello!

I have tried to find a good texteditor for programming but haven't
found any. I haven't got this problem because I used Borland's excelent DOS-IDE
but since I changed to Watcom(few days ago) I have tried to find a good editor.
The texteditor which comes with it isn't for me and I have tried Qedit and
Aurora and didn't like because I can't use to Qedit keys and not Aurora because
I don't want to learn how to use it n+1 things I just want to use texteditor
for coding and things like that! So I need public advise.

Regards,


Jarkko

If you are looking for a Borland like editor, look for ved.
It's shareware and seems to be derived from the Turbo Vision samples.

I have also switched to Watcom... but still using good old Multi-
Edit (now version 7.00). I would recommend that nice editor. A bit clumsy,
but *very* functional... right for Watcom-like compilers.

Hope that will help,

Best wishes,

Konstantin.

Umm, Qedit lets you define the keys to do anything you want. Have you
read the documentation on how to do this?

What about multiedit? It supports most programming languages..

I have developed a configurable editor for programmers that runs under msdos.
I used it when I changed from BC 3.1 to DJGPP, wich is without IDE.
It has support for macros, syntax highlighting, advanced printing options,
sorting, drawing and more...
Note: it is easily configurable for many languages: I have
prepared mode definition files for C/C++, pascal, x86asm, TeX, pov,
fortran ...
You can found it in ftp://ftp.dei.unipd.it/pub/msdos/util/led*.zip.
It is an old version, without many improvements such as the
configurable menu (are you developing C++ ? Here it is the
"Compile" menu, are you writing some exciting html page? Here it is
the "HTML" menu ...).
Soon I'll release the new version (faster, better comment support
in syntax highlighting, over 150 commands, 32 bit version -load
megabytes of files ...- and more).
If you can't wait, let me know, I'll send you the last I have in home.
NB It is in beta testing: so there is no need to pay (you may send
offers, if you want ...).
NB2 The documentation is in italian, sorry, but messages and commands are in
english and self-explanatory. I need some time to translate all that stuff.

Let me know what you think about it.

Bye, Paul aka Lupus (developer of LupusEDitor:)

It is not. However why not just ftp the latest version of jed from
space.mit.edu in pub/davis/jed? The .zip file contains 3 DOS executables:

jed.exe (real mode version)
jed386.exe (djgpp dpmi version)
wjed.exe (Windows version)

I've always used SLED. It should be at simtel somewhere, but it's also up
for anonymous ftp at:

ftp://ren.csc.tntech.edu/pub/gazebo/sled11.zip

It takes parameters for starting line and column, and also for passing
messages... so

c:\> sled toadfrog.c /42 /"Bad arguments to printf()

Will load up with the cursor on line 42, and that text at the bottom of the
screen... very handy.

Hi!

I use Brief 3.1 for 3 years and it is excelent! You could change
keybindings and wite your own macros + run dos commands/batches/ or exe
files. very powerfull.

Look for Boxer. It is a good programmer's editor, and a general
purpose taxt editor, too. It has so many possibilities for keyboard
layouts, and unlimited macros. Shareware, and very good quality.

I personally liked the IDE with Borlands 3.1 myself. Right now depending on
what langauge and what I'm doing I use a mixture of editors. I use Borland
for most of my origional editing. I then debug, link and compile useing either
Codewright or Visual C if I'm not wrighting a Dos based app or an App that
requires a large make file. I'd LOVE to have Visual C's compilor options and
make files with the stability of code that Watcom or Borland provide. I also
use Codewright for limited Greps, file comparision/merging, and when I'm
editing Asm and occasionally Basic files.


My advice if you havnt deleted the IDE is to use Borlands IDE, doesnt have the
full help facilitys but then again its been a LONG time since I relied even
partially on an IDES help utilities. I've found a good book for each compilor
I use and THAT is my help reference. Then just compile and link from bat files
in a second DOS box. THis allows you to alt tab back and forth while your
debugging.

I think the editor closest to Borland's DOS-IDE is
vised, a shareware program found at SimTel/msdos/editor/vised35.zip

It happens also to be a very good editor!

I tried a demo of thiers a few years back. Liked it alot till I looked at the
price. It was WAY to expensive for my tastes. I got Codewright for much less.
Its winblows based and has a couple other features I dont much care for but
best I've tried so far.
