HH> indeed, it started as a fast and memory efficient windowing editor called HH> 'wdt' on 8088 pc's, and in the begin 90's evolved into 'texedit' [and HH> 'texform' i.e. a tex-template editor/runner and texadres i.e. mailing and HH> alike database editor]. [snip] HH> The advantage of texedit is that i can pretty quickly browse/access files HH> as well as that texedit knows about the context file project structure.

Although it has some HH> more features, it's not yet fully tested and finished.

I must admit that i'm not in that much hurry, since the HH> combinations texedit + fptex + gsview + acrobat works quite well on HH> windows. Is TeXedit avaiable somewhere? Also, You mention TeXwork as a Perl/Tk editor, but the cont-wrk.zip file available at the site seems to only have ConTeXt support modules for TeXwork. Is the editor available somewhere? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
