Re: SQR editor

[Jamie Harris <JHarris@FCC.CC.MD.US>]

I've always been fond of the editor formerly known as "Qedit" (now known as 
TSE).  It's available at www.semware.com.  (it's kind of expensive though)

It has a ton of features, including the ability to execute many common 
compilers (and any you manually add - such as SQRW) and has the ability to 
parse the compile logs and show you a list of the errors and take you directly 
to them.  (It's preconfigured for languages like C++, Perl, Pascal, etc. - you 
just tell it which compiler you're using for that file type and it will 
remember it).

For SQR it's mostly manual setup - I had to define my own syntax highlighting 
scheme (but it's easy to do) and had to configure the compile feature myself 
(though it only runs the SQR - I haven't been able to get it to do the extra 
stuff it'll do for other languages).

The macro language is powerful too - and many of the included macros are quite 
useful.

Ultra Edit isn't bad either - I'd be using that if I didn't have TSE.  I'd 
recommend you try both - I prefer TSE but some might prefer UE because TSE 
isn't graphical (it's still a text-mode application despite being a 32-bit 
application).

Hello all.

Does anyone know of a good SQR editor?  Something that highlights keywords and 
has good editing faciities?

Cheers,
