University of Illinois @ Urbana has a language-sensitive and
programmable editor, used to be known as FRED. [I do not know its
recent name] I think it may be available via anon.  ftp from
uiuc.cs.edu. It is wysiwyg, works with partial language grammars,
programmable, and the last time I looked, it did handle C and
Pascal. It allows one to define a grammar for a language one wishes
to edit, and partial grammars allow it to do a reasonable job with
minimal language knowledge. It is in C, and sources are [were]
available.
