On 20 Nov 98, Ahlsen-Girard, Edward had questions about use of
Win32 native editor with cygwin:

I have no idea what the hell the SemWare Editor 32 is, but I've got
a couple suggestions for you:
PFE - a free win32 editor with some nice programmer's features (a
little C sensitivity, macros, etc).
vim/gvim - console and gui versions of VI iMproved (color syntax
highlighting, tags, etc). Much easier to configure than emacs (but
not nearly as powerful).
emacs/ntemacs - you said you'd prefer not, but people have built
emacs under cygwin, and the win32 version is up to 20.x now.
GRASP - win32 and unix/linux versions are available (no source
yet). It's an IDE for C/C++/Ada/Java (color syntax, structure
diagrams, etc) that comes pre-configured for GNAT 3.10, Cygwin B19,
Sun JDK 1.1.6, and MSVC++ 4.2. I just started playing around with
it, so I haven't figured out all the stuff yet; it has project
facilities, but doesn't generate a make file on its own.
