 Sounds like you want a sysop reader, in which case timEd and Golded
 come to mind as two good options, at least until Y2k hits.
 For the users, a lot of people like IceEdit, but I never got it
 to work right.  You may have better luck with it.

 I have used timEd for quite a while now and it works _very_ well for
 me.   YMMV.  timEd unfortunately seems to suffer from a Y2K problem
 which will render it dead it two years.  Make sure you don't get
 attached to a program that might suffer the same fate.
