that's just because I don't know any. This product really deserves you
attention. It's the best editor I know.
Ughh, ever tried the real thing - GNU-emacs? It has a million features
which makes it better, too many to mention in one posting. One feature
I could't live without is the undo facility. But it runs on few
laptops..

(At this very moment I'm using it (on HP-UX)) These 'million better features' are really a bit exagerated. Epsilon may come from Lugaru with less features than GNU-Emacs, but since the extension- language is more easier (personal opinion!) -- C instead of Lisp, I have no trouble writing the functions I need. And about the undo, Epsilon has both an undo AND a redo. Not running on a laptop is the price you pay for these zillions of features... :-) BTW, you do know what emacs is supposed to mean: Eight Megs And Constantly Swapping? ;-) >-h&kon Ernst P.S. I don't consider GNU-emacs a bad product, I really enjoy using it, but I also think Epsilon is better. -- Qualitas qualitatem inducit. Semper ego qualitatem. popa iret
