- I have a product called CodeWright Fusion for Visual C++ 2.2. When run this
- application replaces the standard VC++ editor with its own editor. However, this
- is not an MS product and when MS updated to VC++ 4.0, Fusion no longer worked
- with this new version. The company (Premia Corp.) are currently working on an
- upgrade but I don't know if it is available yet.

- Do you have a particular editor in mind that you wish to replace the built-in
- one with? As far as I know the process of replacing the internal editor is not
- straight forward. I think I remember reading somewhere the Microsoft reckoned it
- was impossible for someone to do it, and then Premia did it with CodeWright.

- With an environment like Windows NT the need to replace the IDE editor is not as
- critical as it would be if you were developing in a nonmulti-tasking
- environment, like DOS. In NT you can still have your other editor open and do
- the editing there, MSVC++ will automatically reload any files that change when
- it regain focus. So it would be fairly integrated even thought they are
- different applications.
