Emacs compatible? In that case you should be able : to install the EMACS Ada mode stuff?? There is only so much description that can be put in a tag line :) The emacs "Emacs compatible" claim is only keyboard look and feel. I don't support the lisp backend to emacs that lets emacs do almost anything. But for a Zeus exe size of 800 KBytes I don't think there are many things (in terms of a programmers editor) that emacs can that Zeus can not. There may even be a few things that Zeus can do that emacs can not :) > to install the EMACS Ada mode stuff?? In terms of Ada support, Zeus will highlight ada keywords, run the compile in the background and provide in edit error navigation (I am assuming this as Zeus has no trouble running TASM, MSVC++, BC++, DJGPP C++ compilers and a host of other command line compilers and tools). Please don't flame me on this. Editors are very personal things and who is to say one editor is better than another. I personally use Zeus in Brief mode as I find Brief the best editor for software development but this is only one of many opinions on the subject.
