This is a shareware windows editor that came bundled with Meridian AdaWindows V2. It serves pretty well for most of the things I am working on, although it is not "language sensitive" in the sense of DEC's LSE. There are hooks to allow the attachement of compilation, linking and other such tools, and these hooks were "pre-loaded" in the version of the Meridian compiler that we received. The shareware registration fee is or was $US59.95 plus $US9.50 shipping outside the USA. The contact address from the manual is: Wilson WindowWare Inc 2701 California Ave SW Suite 212 Seattle, WA 98116 USA As an alternative, I've just had Pfe (Programmer's File Editor) put on my PC, and it seems to be pretty good too. It is freeware, so the price is right. I have not had much of a chance to look closely at its features, but it was able to withstand some pretty brutal testing I gave it this morning. A finely crafted piece of windows software ! I am sorry, but I don't have an ftp address for it. Archie may help. Pfe does appear to have hooks for compiler tools, but I'm not sure whether you can coerce it to deal with Ada or not. Has anyone tried ?
