Summary: The Norton Editor for Programmers


I use the Norton Editor from Peter Norton.  It is RAM-based, but it
will buffer the file to/from disk, and even informs you when this
condition is present.  It is a fairly simple editor and doesn't 
(thankfully) use WordStar command structure.  Two windows are allowed,
with straightforward cut and paste between them.  It was written in
IBM Macro-assembler and runs very quickly and I have never had reason
to complain.  The best thing is that it goes for $50.00 retail.  It
has some support for a mouse too, if you are into that.  A nice escape
to DOS feature lets you skip out to compile, link, and debug without
leaving the editor, so to speak.  I recommend it a lot around work, and
everyone who has seen it has ended up using it and they seem to be
pleased.
