- It's "Codewright Fusion" by Premia. I've used it some and find it a
- great improvement over the stock editor. Unfortunately, Fusion does
- not work with VC++ 4 (only with 2.x and below), and Premia seems
- hesitant to undertake the upgrade.
-
- Premia offers "Codewright Professional", which is more powerful than
- Fusion. It can work along with VC++ 4. CW does not replace the VC
- editor, but it is possible to use the two in parallel. I've only
- begun doing this. The benefits of CW make the minor hassels seem
- worthwhile.
