I was impressed with it. The closest I can get is a customized joe with a very very hacked config file. And even it doesn't offer all of the features and syntax highlighting found in TSE/Pro. It is free and I have been using it for a year and a half. I've gotten used to its limitations, but I find myself using vim now and then for things like HTML and C. -- Joseph Carter <knghtbrd@debian.org> Debian GNU/Linux developer PGP: E8D68481E3A8BB77 8EE22996C9445FBE The Source Comes First! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * dpkg hands stu a huge glass of vbeer * Joey takes the beer from stu, you're too young ;) * Cylord takes the beer from Joey, you're too drunk. * Cylord gives the beer to muggles.
