Actually no, it is coded in C / C++. I used VC++6.0 for the final
build.

I know what you are talking about, but I think it might be difficult to
implement properly. The editor itself cares not about what kind of file
it is editing. The problem arises when (at run time) I need to decide
which interpreter should be fed the input (either exw.exe or ex.exe?)
for either Win based proggies or dos. At the moment, I parse out the
extension and assign "exw" to exw.exe and "ex" to ex.exe. All other
files are flagged as unknown which right now gives an error message as I
cannot determine with any accuracy which it should be. If anyone has a
suggestion I am willing to listen.

I plan on doing this and alot more in the near future. Right now I am
up to my eyeballs in code. I am having to rework about 60% of the main
file for muliple editor window support (MDI), which is about 1/2 way
done now. Once that is complete I will rezip it and post to RDS and see
if everything works as intended. After that I plan on some more
enhancements.
Like:
- Goto procedure/function window
- Auto complete
- Debug window via pipes
- Being able to modify code and running it without having to save the
file (VB style). If you dont like the changes just reload the file
- Verticle seperator lines for procedures/functions (think VB)
This last feature will be tough to implement properly and requires more
thought.
Given time, I think it will be a good editor. As soon as I can migrate
out my next MDI release things should start to pick up (I hope).
