I am editing, compiling (dcc from Dignus), assembling (dasm
from Dignus) on the PC.

I was using SF/SE from CTC, but it had some annoying crashes
that couldn't they fixed (something to do with "CHANGE ALL"
making multiple changes on the same line). Their response
was "Works for me!", so on to the next editor.

I am now evaluating SlickEdit with ISPF emulation. It has its
own set of quirks, but at least it only crashed once. I like
its built-in "BUILD" window from which I can run my GnuMake
line command. I dislike the way it wants to change directories
everytime I open a file in a different folder. There is checkbox
to disable that behavior, but it is not sticky.

UltraEdit is de-installed due to lack of ISPF emulation (no doc
for it, no menus for it, but someone somewhere claimed that it
supported ISPF emulation). Difficult user-interface or poor
documentation means I click the uninstall button.
