He might try to see if this works in Wine: http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html ....or maybe download "gSciTE" Seriously, a basic skill with "vi" or "nano" for quick edits from the command line. > > You'll want to look at Jeff Owens' AsmIde.

Windows allways gave me this feeling.The reason I stuck with it was because I had so much code written for it and that it seemed "fast" compared to the Linux distros I tested. Now that is reversed, Linux is gotten slick and smart and _much_ more efficient and has infinatly more apps available. And come with a promise to allways remain free software. 30 minutes for a complete reinstall. No need to reinstall drivers, apps is installed in clicktime. Windows can never keep up with this. > Nathan. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Who would use a bike if he get a Porsche for free. And if you really need to drive to a location which can't be reached with the Porsche, then there is always GAS in the trunk. And GAS has a much better syntax than any of the existing Intel like assemblers. > I see no longer any reason to use windows. Then put your eyeglasses on. You don't "use" the OS. The OS is needed to execute your applications. So, which OS you use depends for what OS the application you want to use is written. And in most cases this is Windows. |
