    Question windows based c editor to debug unix program

    Hi !

    Can anyone tell me or send me the windows based editor to debug a c program written for unix system. I have to write a c program which will run on unix system. I dont want to use vi or other unix editor. Is there any windows based editor available which I can use to write and test the c program. After that I can shift my s/w to unix.

    Thanks
    Imran

    Try emacs. Just remember to put a linefeed as the last character otherwise it will think it is a binary file.

    you can use "Ultra Edit" to write your code.
    It can do the ftp as well. But you can not debug the application running under unix from ultra edit.

    I occasionally use vi and I hate it. Whenever I can, I use a
    windows editor and ftp the source code file to the unix box in
    question. I guess that doesn't change the fact that when I do
    find myself editing on a unix box, I use vi.

    I use nedit. It might even be pre-loaded
    on your unix system. It does syntax highlighting
    for various languages.

    The general link is ... http://www.nedit.org/

    Pre-built executables for some systems ...

    Re: Editor

    TextPad at www.textpad.com is outstanding.

    Supports various text file formats and is very configurable (syntax coloring etc).

    I can't believe that I actually miss vi when I work on VC++ but I do. It is quite amazing how it grows on you.

    I think we deviated from the Qs

    Ultra Edit does not debug the application running under unix.
    nedit is for unix env.

    Any windows based editor to debug a c program???

    several good ones -- Microoft VC++6/7 are the most popular. Borland, IBM, and several others make less popular ones.
