A fellow worker of mine has recently bought a Mac SE 30.  He has worked with
IBM AT's and the like for all of his life.  He has been "spoiled" by the
"programmer friendliness" of the IBM.  He told me that he was really dis-
appointed by the lack of nice program text editors for the Mac.

More specifically, he is looking for a text editor that can do macros,
and an editor which features the ability to program macros of any sort
(not necessarily mouse macros) using a macro-language.

In short, he is looking for a good imitation of Brief, for those of you
Mac users who also do IBM programming.  Does anyone know anything about
this?
