I'm looking for a programmer's editor with the following qualities. I - know of several that meet *some* of these but haven't yet met any that meets - them all. - - Extensible user interface via a program language. (With a ready-to-use - emacs style command set.) - Multiple over-lapping windows. - Mouse support. (If you have used Logitech's Point then you know what I mean - by this..) - re-configurable menus. - Can edit (simultaneously) 10-30 files with a total length much greater - than the available memory. - Can run a make-utility without leaving editing. Preferrably swaps itself - to disk for the duration of the make. AND if it captured the output.. - Try Multi-Edit by American Cybernetics, Inc. Address/phone is: 455 S. 48 St. #108, Tempe AZ 85281 (602) 968-1945. They also run a BBS: (602) 968-1082/2400 baud/N-8-1 You can get a limited demo version from the BBS. The only criterion you listed which I don't know whether ME has is the "ready-to-use emacs style command set". Maybe you should get Stallman to fix up emacs for you. :-) ME does everything else on your list. An office-mate of mine is a beta-tester for their newest version. -- listen: there's a hell of a good universe next door; let's go. __________________________________ ee cummings |Sue Miller ...!sun!sunburn!gtx!sue|
