    Can't find it under that name in Visual Studio. There is MSVM which is
a "visual modeller". Haven't used it or read up on it, but I
suspect it's more than just an editor.

    I do remember PWB which was the IDE for MSC V7.00. Very similar to ZWB,
and quite easy to use. M wasn't too bad, either. You are right - it was
almost infinitely configurable, but was just as useful as it came straight
out of the packet. It came with a whole thick Microsoft printed manual,
which was just as well because the standard controls were not particularly
intuitive. However there was almost nothing it couldn't do and it was a
vast improvement on CP/M's Ed.com, or Cromemco's Screen.com or WordStar, or
Vi on unix/Cromix/Linux.

    IIRC the Win32 SDK is still downloadable from www.microsoft.com/downloads, BICBW.

Best Wishes,
Bill.
