For 150 dollars you get a primitive editor that does not provide an option to compile the working file. The interface is not standard, text handling is really horrorable. The only redeeming quality is that you receive source code for it. There are some interesting features, which RED does not handle properly, which you might be able to pry out of the source and include elsewhere (at the risk of copyright infringement). In all, I am very glad that it was COMPANY money that bought RED and not my own. DON'T BUY RED! ciao jeff -- Jeff Watkins gt3070b@prism.gatech.edu "All opinions are mine... so don't even think of keeping some to yourself!"
