NEdit may be a fine editor -- I don't know. However, for editing Ada95 code
(you didn't say for which platform) there is one editor that provides a
uniform interface on multiple platforms -- useful on systems with or
without a Windowing system -- that editor is Emacs.
Emacs is an extensible editor which comes with major modes for editing
source files for many languages, script files for shells, and can even
edit binary files -- e.g., executables.
For Ada95, the regular distributions of Emacs have an Ada-mode that is
somewhat behind that available directly from the Ada-mode website.
Emacs itself is available for most UNIX (including linux) platforms from
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/emacs/ and other places. 20.4 is the
current version, although I'm still using 20.3.
For Windows 9X/NT, it can be obtained from
ftp://ftp.cs.washington.edu/pub/ntemacs/
For DOS, it can be obtained from
http://www.delorie.com/gnu/dl/prep/emacs/
The latest Ada-mode for Emacs (platform-independent) is available from
http://ada.eu.org/ada-mode/
Many folk on this newsgroup use emacs for editing Ada95.
