A83: Re: ROMcall reference
For z80 assembly source code, Assembly Studio 8x version 4 works quite well.
For anything web related, HomeSite can't be beat. For C/C++, I like
C++Builder's editor, although the one that comes with TIGCC is nice for a
free editor.
If you have really large files, say 5mb of text, then finding an editor to
work with that effectively will be difficult. I ran some tests on various
editors I have on my system by opening a 5mb text file:
Assembly Studio 8x -- didn't wait for it to load (> 1 min)
C++Builder -- opened almost immediately, no slowdown in editing
HomeSite -- takes 30-60 seconds to open, no slowdown in editing
Notepad -- takes a 5-10 seconds to open, editing is very slow
Rusty's unfinished GBC IDE -- takes 5-10 seconds to load, editing is slow
TIGCC IDE -- didn't wait for it to load (> 1 min)
WordPad -- opens within a couple of seconds, editing is slow
If you are writing an edit control for Win32, take note of this. If your
control doesn't scale, then you haven't done your job correctly. Looking at
C++Builder's editor proves that it's possible to write a good control. I've
heard of people liking other editors like UltraEdit, TextPad, EditPad, etc.,
but I don't know how well any of those scale. The file I was using to test
is linked below (it's legitimately large text file):
