Besides being a plug for the ailing Aus economy, you really should have a
look at Ed for Windows. It has been very well reviewed in a number of mags.
I have been using it for a whole week :-) and it has all the bells and whistles
that seem needed, plus a few more.  Fully configurable and supports a number of
languages including of course C/C++ 7.0.  Certainly worth a look.  If you want
more to keep your wallet replenishing boss happy then pls e-mail.

PFE, as a public domain editor, is also quite reasonable.  Some more work
needed, as is promised by its author.  Had an Archie for EW100.ZIP as mentioned
by another respondent and got a nil return?
