[comp.os.msdos.programmer] Programmer's editor to make integrated environment

IO92203@MAINE.BITNET (Scott Maxell) (02/17/91)

    I am looking for a programmers editor that will allow you to
run your assembler and take the output and flag the errors. I saw
one called ASMED-1 on Simtel, but it locks my computer up for some
reason. I don't want one with a way to shell to DOS, it needs to
be able to run the assembler directly. (And if it can also run the
linker, then so much the better).
 
Thanks in advance...

Two possibilities:

    Borland's Sprint with my SPTURBO package (on SIMTEL20)
    Lugaru's Epsilon

Both have the option of running just the assembler or a full MAKE.  Both can
swap out essentially all of themselves while running the external programs
(Sprint down to 1.5K, Epsilon down to 3K).  Epsilon has the unique advantage
of letting you see the program's output while it is running yet still capturing
it to an editing buffer.
