I'm currently using FreeMacs, which is an MSDOS semi-clone of GNU Emacs.  It *is* rather
slow, being written in an interpreted Lispish language, but it works well on a fastish
386.  Which I don't have.  However, it's disgustingly configurable and extendable  and
it (obviously) lets you do whatever you want for your compile, like run cpp first.  It
also can "read" the compiler messages and find the error line, but I haven't gotten
this working exactly right.  Very nice editor, available from SIMTEL msdos/editor.
