- Think C may be a good compiler but THE EDITOR SUCKS!!! There is no
- popup menu for functions, braces are not matched. there is no macros
- etc. Alpha is about a 1000 times better, and emacs is even a bit
- better than that.
-
- As for mac word prossesors try Nisus, it has a lot of programer's
- features.
-
- ps look for mac gnu sed soon (I'm working on it but I havent had much time)
