Good WinFWork 3.11 Programmers Editor.

[Paul Hannah]

I am looking for a Windows programmers editor for coding in Ada, preferrably
free, but I am willing to pay up to a couple of hundred for a good one if
necessary.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

You could try Winedit.  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 ?
