MEdit

[Tramp]

Besides being an editor, MEdit is also an FTP client. Therefore, can
edit not only local files but also remote files. Remote files are
treated just like local files. When the user tries to open a file, MEdit
downloads it on to the local machine and when the file is saved, it
automatically uploads the file back to where it belongs.

Features
Local and remote file editing
Syntax highlighting for C/C++, unix shell scripts, Java, HTML, CORBA IDL
and many more.
Command line support (more info)
Code collapsing (more info)
No installation, unzip the file and start using it.

Requirements
Comctl32.dll version 4.72.31 or above. You do not need the latest
version, however, if you are using an older version, some toolbar images
will not be displayed properly. The lastest version of this file can be
downloaded from Microsoft.
Windows 95/98/NT4/Win2k/XP
4 MB Ram, 1.5 MB hard disk

So what? Please explain what distinguishes this software from all
other freeware editors? Why should anyone want to use this editor?
Have you used it, downloaded it?

OK, I did.

This is nice for HTML site editing on the fly. Ordinarily, I'd have
to download the page, edit in notepad, save, then upload it again. With
Medit here I open the file, change, save, refresh the page and it's
there! Sweet! This one's going on the "Best Of" site!

Extra Points for no install. A 1 file wonder.

Frank - too bad you didn't dl and test. You missed a good one.

Basically a similar editor to jEdit, the Java editor. The advantage
of jEdit is it runs on anything with Java. Supports around 80
computer languages, including SQR, the database report writer language
I'm using with Oracle at my job at the moment. I've never seen
another editor support SQR.

JEdit has a lot of plugins, too, for support for various CVS systems
and whatnot. You need to download a plugin for the FTP capability.
It's nicely done.

Some people complain it is slow, but I haven't found it so yet. OTOH,
I haven't opened a 25,000 line file in it yet either. But on a couple
thousand lines it seems quite adequately fast to me.
