Microsoft created Windows and supposedly they have released the Windows development environment, but no Windows editor.  This really makes no sense at all to me.  PWB is not even a Windows app.  So what if you can access the menu item




WIndows with a mouse.  Where is the Windows editor and where is a source level debugger in the Windows environment???  Why should I have to purchase a program like Multiscope to debug my code and have to use someone elses editor??  Where is a Windows Cla|> ss Browser??  Are there others who feel the same as me??

Well I also share the same feeling as U. I normally used my favourite window editor when editing my program but used PWB to compile it. After 
making some changes(due to error) to my program in PWB, I switched back to my
favourite window editor( to continue editing) and find the original indentation 
of the program being changed drastically. This is horrendous, man. Could anybody tell me the problem here? Many thanks!

PS . MS should provide a Window editor for MS C7. Just like QuickC.
