ed was my preferred on CP/M in the day when I didn't have access to wordstar. ed or edline on DOS was OK. On Windows I prefer notepad++ (notepad-plus-plus.org), a free editor that is really simple to use and does proper g-code highlighting. On Unix/Linux I go to vi, yes there is a vi-vs-emacs cult war, but for me, vi is simple and I can remember the subset of control commands easily. Unix/Linux has ed also, but I prefer vi's full character screen.
The whole object is to use what is productive, easy for you, and doesn't get in the way. I tried to be able to use (1) what I have, then (2) what I preferred. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
