I had to resort to using a windows app. Is there a way to configure either of these editors so I can write make files with them. In DOS edit (if you MUST use it) ^P will insert a tab which will show up as a small hollow circular bullet. Another question is to everyone: what is the best way to view and edit all of your program files and still have access to dos for the command line to make or run (aside from Rhide). What I've been doing is opening files from windows with notepad and then editing them, but the limitation of this is I can't save the changes easily. What is the best editor or editor of your choice to do this? (Also is there a djgpp command line option to make and run at the same time?) I like emacs. It can run make for you, capture errors and point you to them in the source. I won't restart the editor/IDE holy war by stating that emacs is the BEST programmers editor/environment, so don't ask me. -- Art S.
