Try jEdit (v4.0) http://www.jedit.com/, it's the best free editor i've ever found for any platform. Since it's java, you might think that it is resource hungry... but on my 600Mhz linux machine it runs perfectly smooth. (On my 800Mhz windows, it drags, go figure) And i would also suggest Emacs, but if you're averse to twisted keyboard shortcuts, stay far away ;-) --- Scott Hurring Systems Programmer EAC Corporation ScottH@eac.com Voice: 201-462-2149 Fax: 201-288-1515
