Well, if you like the Borland IDE, give RHIDE a try. It uses the Borland TurboVision Display library, and is very comfortable to someone coming from that direction. It supports multiple screen resolutions, source code coloring, built in debugger, built-in info reader, etc. If you just want an editor without the IDE, try SetEdit(which is what Rhide uses) for DOS, it's also very familiar to a person moving from Borland. If you'd rather do it in windows, there aren't too many good free alternatives, but personally I use PFE32 for editing, and generally hack together makefiles the old-fashioned way: copy con makefile (just kidding :) There's also Emacs, which not so ironically has a kitchen sink in it's icon, but I don't use it so I can't really say much about it. >2. is it worth making the switch from borland to djgpp? Most definately. DOS support in Borland was dead years ago, not to mention it is just plain outperformed by DJGPP. (Not to mention limited to segmented memory models and all that rubbish) ------_=_NextPart_001_01BF119E.C1618744 Content-Type: text/html Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Re: What is a good DJGPP editor?
