Time to leave my dos tools behind

[hag]

I would like a recomendation on a program editor.
Does indenting and easy copying, double screen for viewing more then one prg.
Easy enough so i can use it.
32 bit so it can run in win 7
Presently I compile with a bat file from dos prompt. Need a tool or something
to move to 32 bit.

My present editor is Brief...Older then me. But a great tool. I need to move on.

All recommendations welcome

HAG...

My favorite is MED http://www.utopia-planitia.de/indexus.html
I customized it to recognize Harbour and FWH, easy to use and configure.


But Notepad++ is also a good choice.

Multi-edit is a great editor and has a Brief command set emulation. I switched from Brief to Multi-edit many years ago and have been pretty happy.

I'll recomend you UEstudio, It will be the last one you will use...

You can create projects by just selecting the files, and you can set it up to compile stand alone .prg files with one click, using the batch file supplied by FiveTech...

It has a great sintaxis hilighting you can cofigure, line numbering, too much to list, download it for a 30 day evaluation, and you will love it....

Hello!

>My present editor is Brief...Older then me. But a great tool. I need to move on.

Great topic! I'm just evaluating Windows editors. I still use DOS version of Boxer editor which is IMHO a piece of art.

The dominant editor of that day was BRIEF, a product published by UnderWare. Early versions of Boxer were influenced by the look-and-feel of BRIEF. The Boxer name itself began as a play on words: another style of men's underwear.

As a big fan of Boxer, I will probably sooner or later switch to graphical version:

but decision will be tough because of the other options like for example:

http://www.editplus.com/
http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
http://www.activestate.com/komodo-edit
http://www.zeusedit.com/features.html
http://www.emeditor.com/

BTW, for simple editing I use 64-bit FAR Manager
http://www.farmanager.com/download.php?p=64&l=en
because it works on Windows Server Core without WOW64:

I used Multi-Edit for years until they broke it. I finally switched to UE Studio. It has a lot of capabilities.

The biggest problem I had with Multi-Edit was the macro recorder broke. I used it regularly for years. They decided to do an update, but recently announced they terminated the contract ( unfinished ) with the people doing the update and would seek other solutions.

These products all have free trials so it would be pretty easy to see which feels best for you.
