Hey August!

> You can define an external editor you want in OpenXP:

Same situation with both msged and golded.  In their favour is that the source 
is c (msged) or c++ (golded).  Last I checked they both worked with whatever 
gcc/g++ version I was using at the time.

However despite the above, I still prefer my modified MSG format which can 
handle many, many, many differing 8-bit codepages such as the IBM ones, cp437 
and cp866 being the most popular, neevermind pure utf-8.  Neither squish nor 
jam based editors, can compete as far as I am concerned and therefore no 
attraction for another application especially one that requires an additional 
compiler.

Also, I actually use vim in my day-to-day text editting so I can always count 
on it to be part and parcel of any build I have done over the past 30 years or 
so.

Дуже груви, 
Maurice
