Visual slickedit also rocks. If it isn't as good as Codewright, I'd be surprised (never having used codewright). VS does all of the above, it does it with a very intuitive interface and it runs identically on both windows and Linux (although you have to buy both versions to get it.) I have Cygwin installed for GNU make on windows and use the same makefile to compile (with Hi-Tech C, both version installed) in both environments. In Linux, the interface to RCS is seamless. I have never actually used the windows RCS interface 'cause I don't have the executables. It doesn't support CVS, which I think is a weekness. It does auto-reload, excellent syntax highlighting, has a great file difference/interactive edit/merge tool, which would be even cooler if it could work from an RCS version file :) The Linux/windows thing was what convinced me to go with Visual Slick Edit about 5 years ago and I have never been sorry I did. I also have recommended it to others, none of which I know of have changed and they are all happy with it. I do not work for microedge or anything, I just really like their product. I find it a very productive work environment and highly recommend it. -- Robert Wuest, PE
