This sounds like a good idea to me.  Some people dislike the Turbo IDE
and edit programs with their favorite editor, then use the command-line
compiler.  It would be necessary to have editor disks inspected by judges
to verify that no program material is brought in this way.

If sufficient people show interest, this idea should be forwarded to the
contest committe for possible inclusion in the rules.
