[NCSA-discuss] editors in windows, Mac

[Scott Stonefield]

Joe,
	I use SubEthaEdit but share ware not sure you want
to pay for something.  There is vim ( vi improved) and emacs :)
and what's wrong with them?

The free editor is text edit on the Mac and if you install
code tools then they have an intergrated editor too.
