PrEditor - History
Why I wrote PrEditor
I originally wrote PrEditor because my work involved a lot of assembler coding (remember that?) and all my favourite editors simply showed all the assembler text in flat colour, or worse still coloured it as if for C/C++. I tended to switch between assemblers quite a bit and used to get frustrated when my "ora" (MELPS 740) would cause an assembler error when it really wanted an "or a" in Z80.
My answer to this problem was to write my own configurable syntax colouring editor. Since then I've found that I can use it for C/C++, Java (which I've yet to use in anger), Perl, and various assemblers. I found also that I could syntax colour my syntax configuration files! It can easily be adapted for Pascal, Ada, and for scripting languages like Perl (DOS batch files?).
Once I had the bare-bones of an editor, and having realised that the editor is the main tool that I was going to use in my job as a programmer, I started adding features to it.
Design goals
Language independence
I have tried to make PrEditor as language independent as possible, so that it behaves the same way for C++ projects and for Perl projects. I wanted to avoid the situation where there is one editor for one language and one for another, and having to relearn the keystrokes for each.
Make the programmers job easy
This is an obvious one. I make my living from programming and I want my job to be as easy as possible.
Create an editor that is configurable
By allowing users to configure keyboard, menu, and toolbars easily, the user feels that s/he is in control - which, of course, they are.

properly. For example, in pascal 'begin' and 'end' are matches, but
words like 'amend' (with 'end' embedded), would fool the parser.

until a RETURN was pressed.
25 November 2003 build 963

that '.C' files can be configured as C++ files, and '.c' files as
'C' files.

outputs a line like... ".\Subdir\SourceFile.cpp".

now reports when it starts and stops.

keywords are updated immediately instead of whenever a return is
pressed.

The filename / macro names are now in the correct case. - Fixed a problem when trying to run a, say, "html\CommentOut" macro, from within a macro. + Macro .lst and .map files are now placed in the Windows TEMP directory, rather than cluttering up the 'macros' directory.
