I have just got to say that QEDITOR is absolutely fantastic. I can't imangine trying to assemble any assembly program without it. I was wondering if the author, Hutch, would ever upgrade it to have highlighted keywords. Anyway, it's great and thanls alot for allowing me and anyone else to download it.

BTW, did you write the program in Assembly language?

QEditor is extendable via a plug-in system ;-) adding highlighting shouldnt be all that hard a job for anyone with experiance of Q's plugin systems, any takers? and yes robert it is a great editor !

yes, I even adapted it to use it with my old .java files, hope that doesnt make all asmcoders puke by meantioning that ;D and other text files as well, config files etc, because windows notepad is notorious for adding .txt extra extension to your files


Maven

It's sure better then notepad lol

Funny enough, I never really expected people to use it as its very austere as matches my own taste in tools. Its fortunate that there are a number of very good IDE's available to suit other people's taste as well. QE must run on a low resource old box on win95 with VGA video which means it does not have many of the bells and whistles of later apps but its fast, flexible and configurable wich is what I need it to be.

The script engine was important for template code and it also makes it a lot easier for new users to be able to plonk in a working bare template they can play with. I have long resisted syntax colouring as it gives me eyestrain but I am also aware that it develops dependence in reading code where form is more important than the decoration value. When you are used to reading code on its form, you can do it on another platform in text mode from a command prompt where the pretty stuff is not available.

Could you provide a link to some of these "Different IDE's"? lol

Someone who hangs out on irc a lot wrote this script lol

Anwyay:
It would be nifty to see more of a visual studio type of editor with masm32, something MDI anyway.

I wrote the MDI version of QE 4 years ago and did not like it. I designed QE as a multi-instance interface, not the old win 3.0 MDI and I find it a lot faster to use that way.
