/me checks Nifty. SPARC-Solaris and PPC-OSX versions available, but only the x86 Linux. Hm... That's two machines I could run it on. But... $300? Whoops, they want registration information.

I dunno about _that_. MSWindows has had a command-line tool since virtually day one. . . . [snip] > >Good for them.

I'll admit, I don't find those examples compelling. But I acknowledge that it's just a small amount of the functionality being demonstrated, and that there's a lot of information being presented there that might be useful to *someone*. > >> It's not really an IDE, though > > > >Aha!
