Can anybody help me? thanks
Just about any text editor will do, even the Notepad program supplied
with Windows. There are loads of "Programmer's Editors" available that
give you various levels of extra functionality. An indispensable feature
is "go to line", to jump straight to where a compiler error message is
pointing you. One feature I particularly like is syntax highlighting,
displaying keywords, functions, literals, and operators using different
colours. A good search/replace function is also very useful. In the past
I used the ConText editor though it was somewhat buggy. Nowadays I do
more programming on Linux with gedit (the Gnome Editor), and I tend to
stick with Notepad on Windows. When I'm stuck with a text interface, I
prefer vim.
