It's by Manx Software Systems, written by Jim Goodnow II. (personally, I prefer a *real* PC editor. PC's are so flexible, why do you want to limit yourself??) BRIEF, by Underware, Inc, is a great PC editor. It has full color, a *real* undo command (capable of up to 100 commands), windows, macros, one-keystroke compilation that puts the cursor at the error, and it even displays the current time!!. BRIEF is available from Solution Systems, Inc, 335 Washington ST, Norwell, MA 02061,(617) 659-1571. Well worth the money and time to learn to use. It has very good documentation. -- Vince Hatem +----------------------------------------+ Bell Communications Research !"..., isn't that right, Daniel?" ! Raritan River Software Systems Center !
