- I usually work with relatively large asm source files that sometimes,
- though rarely, exceed 64K. The problem is that I often switch between
- the shell and the editor so reloading a file quickly is a great help.
- The editor I currently use is ROSE, purely for shear speed. I don't
- need hundreds of fancy commands that I'll never use, I prefer a FAST
- editor with the basic search and replace commands. ROSE is also handy
- for asm source with things like keypad-= ontop of a label jumping to
- the piece of code corresponding to that label.
