I was looking around and was wondering about the Source Navagator??? Is that possiblly what i'm looking for? I off to get Emacs now. Thanx Again. Source Navigator is designed more for managing the complexity of large systems. Now I wrote some huge programs as a student, but nothing that should need that sort of power. A better tool would be Foundry; it's a complete IDE, much like Visual C++, MetroWerks CodeWarrior or Visual Age for C++, any of which are wonderful products. I've had the most experience with VC++ and I'll just say that if MS could build OSes like they do development tools, the only thing anyone would complain about would be the help system. . . I've only seen friends and colleagues use CodeWarrior and VAC++, but I would use similar praise for them (of course, some of those words could result in a win/os/2/mac holy war). The only one I haven't seen is Foundry, but given the quality of the software Cygnus is giving us for free, I'm sure their commercial offerings are simply splendid. The IDE that I have altogether ignored is Borland's. I must admit that I know absolutely nothing about it, other than the fact that it's users are as loyal to it as Amiga's were. To avoid another holy war, I will say that given why Amiga's users were loyal, Borland's Visual C++ must be a fine piece of work. You're welcome, Terry - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
