subject: Color Syntax Highlighting

ML>     Try LPEX (Live Parsing Editor) from IBM.  It is a 32-bit editor for
 ML> OS/2 that does color syntax highlighting for a number of languages
 ML> (including PL/I, C, JCL, RC, and REXX) recognizing which one you fed it
 ML> from the file extension.  It does line-by-line syntax checking as it
 ML> goes, and it can be modified with REXX scripts.  LPEX comes in CSD#2 for
 ML> the PL/I for OS/2 toolkit (which doesn't help you much if you don't do
 ML> PL/I ), and can be found on DevCon 9 as part of the VA C++
package (I
 ML> don't know if it will vanish after the 60 days!).  If you've got an
 ML> updated VA C++ (the editor filedate is 11-07-95) it should be in there,
 ML> somewhere.

 ML>     Its only trouble is that it is a PM text editor, an oxymoron if I
 ML> ever heard one, with all the ills of such beasts.  But if you like EPM,
 ML> you may prefer this one.

This sounds useful... I'll be looking on DevCon9 for it!  Now to find out
if it can PRINT in syntax-highlighted colour...
