programming editors for windows?

I'm looking for a good editor to use under windows for programming
in Microsoft C/C++ 7.0, both for windows programs and non-windows
programs. Currently we're using Brief 2.1 for Dos, which kind of 
makes sense since Mc/c++7.0 isn't a windows app either :-), but the
boss wants me to look at windows editors. I've ordered Codewright 2.0
and a demo copy of ED for Windows. What else should I look at?  Is
EditPro any good? It's certainly cheap....

When this was asked recently, the answer was pfe, available on cica if I 
remember correctly.

	Can't pass this up...:)  Borland's IDE comes with a
	*great* Windows editor with colour syntax highlighting.

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?

And I can't pass this one up, John... :)  MS Quick-C for Windows comes not
only with a **GREAT** Windows editor with colo(u)r syntax highlighting, but
also with a FREE copy of Quick-Case:W, an application shell generator!  And
the output from Quick-Case:W, along with a standard makefile, will compile
right nicely, thank you very much, under MSC/C++ 7

Have a look at my Programmer's File Editor, which is so cheap it's free!
It's on ftp.cica.indiana.edu, but you may need to hunt a bit for it as they've
got a huge backlog. Try in /pub/pc/win3/programr, and then in
/pub/pc/win3/uploads/NOV92. You want pfe00402.zip. It's also on
wsmr-simtel20.army.mil in pd:<msdos.windows3>

The current release is 0.04.002; there should be another one with more
goodies in it before the end of this month

Um, er, well, that's actually an option we're considering... Codeview
makes me want to scream sometimes....
