Try Nedit from the ports collection. It's the best GUI editor I've ever used, for programming anyways. It's not a WYSIWIG HTML editor/word processor, nor is it an IDE, but it is a really good programmer's editor. Fast and lots of features. It has syntax highlighting also, and there are some other contributed syntax highlighting patterns at www.nedit.org (it comes with a bunch by default, including SGM HTML). I've converted everybody at work to using Nedit. Nedit version 5.3 was just released, but I haven't updated the port yet. There's not much functional difference between 5.2.1 and 5.3 anyways, though. -- Dan Eischen On Mon, 10 2002 chip.wiegand@simrad.com wrote: > I have spent a large part of my day trying various gui editors, trying to > find one that will actually work the way > it should.
