There's nothing like what's available for commercial platforms, but there are a lot of decent editors that can call compilers.

Microsoft's, definitely. If you're really after extracting water-out-of-stone performance, Intel's are even better. --------------enig3FEFBCEB066FF83F38959678 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFlEz9ldnAQVacBcgRAiKXAKCuVYz5jxGyWDKKBINz+HU82u/PSQCgzBPI Xq+QyukEB5AXg9CTVJn0Tr8= =lXdN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig3FEFBCEB066FF83F38959678--
