I have just set up OzTeX, the cool TeX package, on my Mac.  I was
dissatisfied with the pixelized PostScript output and proprietary
font/macro format files of Textures.

The package does not include a good text editor (I need to edit raw
text, not formatted documents) so I have been using QUED/M 2.09 to edit
the TeX source files.  It allows simultaneous editing of several files,
regular expression search/replace, and seems reasonably configurable to
my tastes.

I am accustomed to Gnu emacs under UNIX, a very powerful and configurable 
editor indeed.  In fact I have a mammoth set of macros that I use with
emacs.  (I have used microEmacs on the mac and it is too wimpy.)

*** So I have two questions:

	Is QUED/M 2.09 one of the more powerful text editors for the mac?
	Are there others that should be considered?  Why?

	Is there somewhere an archive of useful QUED/M macros?

Thanks,
Mike Turmon
