You definitely want to know more! http://www.farmanager.com/index.php?l=en Basically, the 3 programs i'm running daily are: FAR, Opera and The Bat!. I hardly need anything else, be it regedit, control panel or code editor. FAR offer as much as humanly possible through multiple plugins, and if you'r daily work is with console and/or code writing, you are unlikely to find better alternative. > But I figured I'd through it out there. I can see several ways to embed it here, but it'd be better if path translation could be more smooth. It's not always you're working with so flexible tools. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdaemon@freemail.ru) 18.08.2010, <1:30> Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
