Woohoo! I'm not the only one. When I finally found PFE and started using
it, I fell in love right away. For price and features, it is the best
editor I've ever seen. However, I'm starting to miss syntax
highlighting.
Does anyone out there have a favorite editor which is designed for
DOS or Windows, with syntax highlighting along with all the other
features
of a good programmer's editor? Oh yeah, the tough part: It's gotta be
free. Given that my current editor is freeware, I'm not likely to pay to
make a lateral change...
