Use vim, namely the "gvim" or "graphical" vim editor, which works very well under windows. syntax highlighting, full toolbar, and all the rest. If you've tried vim before and the two modes gave you fits, there's now an "Easy" version that doesn't make you switch between command and insert mode; can't say I've tried it, but it's another reason to check it out. I've also heard that vim can actually integrate with Visual Studio, if that matters to you. If you go to http://www.vim.org, and look for the mirrors, you should be able to find a precompiled Windows binary of gvim without too much trouble. --Wes Sheldahl "Anand Ratnasabapathy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 12/25/2001 11:19:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: (bcc: Wesley Sheldahl/Lex/Lexmark) Subject: FW: PerlEditor - Freeware or Trialware Sorry !
