You may want to try VIM. It has syntax highlighting, plus many more
features that I will neglect to mention. As it is, of course, "a vi
workalike" (from their webpage), it can have a steep learning curve.
It is however, well worth it. The homepage is http://www.vim.org

Does vim highlight syntax when run from within a non-X terminal? How does it
do it?

I always thought that vim spawns a new window something like a colour xterm
or a graphical window. If we allow X11 interaction / window spawning that
I'd go for emacs ... syntax highlighting is then only one of the nice
features ... you get many MANY __MANY__ more plus an easy way to develop
your own extensions.

Ah, and it is (I would have thought) possible to get basic syntax highliting
(bold/underline etc.) in non-X terminal if it suports font modification
(please correct me if I'm wrong).

Long live emacs. :))

Regards,
Tom

The new version of TSE (The Semware Editor) does that, try

It runs on my PC but I use it to edit files with a mapped drive to a
directory on a SCO Unix machine. I can't compile until I get back on Unix,
unlike the DOS version I have at home. It can print on the network printer
though.

I would suggest, Xemacs or Emacs. Both have powerful C/C++ editing mode,
with syntax highlighting + many more features. Works in X or in terminal.

In article <jiyabt1...@xena.arcada.fi>,

Download and install new Vim 5.5 (http://www.vim.org)

It does syntax highlighting and more and you don't need to be in X to
use Syntax Highlighting.. just type..

:syntax on

when you in vim.
it'll light up everything...

Try jed from ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/jed/v0.99/. Precompiled
Redhat binaries of the latest version are also available (see
http://space.mit.mit.edu/%7Edavis/jed.html for the appropriate link).
Jed is extremely configurable, with a powerful macro language, syntax
highlighting, and supports many programming modes. The latest version
even supports drop-down menus from a menu bar and X is NOT required.
Hence it may be exactly what you are looking for. Supported
emulations include emacs, wordstar, Borland's ide, brief, and EDT. See
http://space.mit.edu/~/davis/images/jed1.gif for an image of jed
illustrating some of these features.

Good luck,
--John

Right.... and just how would it do highlighting on a simple terminal
connected via a serial port to the main server? It can do it only if the
terminal supports it and so can emacs.

If by terminal you mean a text terminal then I can't help, but
if you mean an Xterminal or an X windows display then I recommend
nedit. ( Try ftp://ftp.fnal.gov/pub/nedit/v4_0_2 ).
If you don't like the highligting it offers, you can easily change it.
