Which editor is best for DJGPP I've installed the RHIDE software but
I've been reading about a lot of bugs in it.I'm a bit worried about
learning how to use something which doesn't work.As I'm just starting
out in C I don't want to get confused learning how to use software which
at this stage of development is buggy.Are these bugs minor??
I have tried Rhide when it compiled my source it placed the .exe in
rhide\bin WHY,and can I change this??
I'm using version 1.1 Jan 20,Is this the latest version and if not is
the latest version more stable??? Where is it??
I've read that Emacs is good,is it?? I don't want to DL all those .zip
files and find it's no good.
Or is there some other frontend software I can use with DJGPP??
Emacs is the finest programmers editor/environment available. The command set
is huge, and extensible (that's what the E in Emacs is for after all), but once
you get used to it you will find that the stuff you do every minute of every day
are very simple and intuitive. There is a built in tutorial. Text highlighting,
multiple colors, full mouse support, language sensitive source formatting, and
much much more.
