All of the latest Microsoft Compilers (languages include C++, C#, VB.NET, others) are free and most likely are already installed on your computer. IMO, Notepad is a reasonable text editor. When I want features I want something like Vim and I don't expect Microsoft to deal with the Vim v. Emacs debate. The cmd.exe and Windows Script Host together support quite a bit of "reasonable" commands, and the Monad Shell in beta-testing provides everything but the kitchen sink. -- --Max Battcher-- http://www.worldmaker.net/ All progress is based upon a universal innate desire on the part of every organism to live beyond its income. --Samuel Butler _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
