My favorite text editor is PFE. To view and edit a file at the byte level I use HexEdit. I do all my DOS programming with TurboPascal V3.02. For Windows and the Mac almost eveything I do can be expressed as a database so I use the ACI 4D product. This website was created with the Macromedia HomeSite 5 HTML Editor. I also find it useful to turn off the auto correct features within Word and also to turn off the spelling and grammer checking. More to come as I work through this development exercise. Comments Welcome
