By "editor", do you mean a text editor (similar to ed or ee), or are you
referring to a full development environment, with screens for laying out
control on windows, and so forth?

I posted a Win32 editor prototype a couple of days ago on the RDS site. It's
written in Win32Lib. Although it's very incomplete and buggy, it does show
off most of features you need for writing an editor. It

    - loads files
    - positions the caret
    - allows text selection using keyboard or mouse
    - handles navigation keys
    - does syntax coloring

The reason I haven't completed it is that I have a ton of other projects.


There's documentation supplied with it that explains how it works in
general. If someone were interested in finishing it or putting together an
Win32 editor, I'd be glad to try to answer any questions about it in more
detail.
