- I am in search of a good text editor for C programming
- on the MAC Plus.
-
- I have seen an old copy of an EMACS port which is the best I've
- seen so far but has the following shortcommings:
-
- 1. Have to type full directory pathname to open files not
- in the current directory.
-
- (All I want to do is open a file in ../include/tmp.h
- or ../../include/tmp.h, etc.)
-
- 2. Needs faster startup.
-
- Perhaps put unused code in resource until needed.
- Any other ways to speed up time to start up editor?
- Critical to improve edit, compile,link,test,cycles.
-
- I like EMACS or any editor that allows multiple scrolling windows.
-
- Are others out there yearning for the same things as me?
-
- P.S. ( I am using Aztec C from Manx, happy with all except my
- difficulty in coaxing Aztec's tools to work in a heirarchical
- directory structure ) ( If switching to Think C is the answer,
- has anybody ported a large Aztec C application to Think C ?
- Or what would it take to maintain portability between the two ? )
