Okay, WHERE can I get it? or at least a demo? I have been looking for
something like PM's answer to WinEdit, which is a cool editor for
Windoze. VSE sounds like something I'd like. I need to be able to make
my own macros, I'd like to be able to record macros too(but not
necessary), I'd like syntax highlighting, I'd like to be able to catch
compiler output in a window and edit other files at the same time, and
I want an editor that will start up in less than 10 seconds on my
486-66 (on this machine, Borland's IDE starts up in about that much
time, and RimStar starts up in about 15-20. That's too slow!). This
sounds like the thing. Does it have a dialog editor, like the WIndoze
version does? and how much does it cost?
Thanks,
Kelly
