text-editing tool - please read reqs

[Technosailor]

Hey,

Before you all start telling me your tales of which is your favorite editor (a tired debate, to say the least), please look at what I'm looking for.

I need a text-editing tooll that has the following requirements:

- non-registry application. IOW, it cannot be installed into the Windows registry. I am on an NT machine that is locked down so only administrative users can install software. So anything with an installshield or msi installer is right out. I was able to install Mozilla Firebird because it does not install into the registry.

- PHP syntax highlighting. Otherwise I'd use Wordpad.

Bells and whistles aside from that are nice, but those things are reqs. Anyone using anything like this?

Nice app. I need free or considerably inexpensive, though.

Hmm... 68HC11 Assembler?
Then Context will hightlight the 0 and 1?

wow... not bad

[Technosailor]

Context gave me an illegal CPU code. Terminate? window. lol

The thing I never liked about EditPad is it's syntax highlighting for PHP. It's very bland. I tried the other highlight set, but it's just as bland. Oh well, no biggie.

My post with the 0 and 1 ... that was just kiddin' you know =)

> LDAB #$0E
load in accumualtor B the hex value 0x0E

> STAB $103B
store the value of accumlator B to memory address 0x103B

> STAB 0,X
store the value of accumulator B to the memory address founded in register X

I took those instructions, part of it, from a piece of sw used to program an internal memory ( eeprom ).

THe 68hc11 is a microcontroller of motorola, I used it a lot in 1990-6.
It was very famous.
My company still use it for some old projects.

Another world yes, but it was like to go back with the years when I saw it mentioned in syntax highlight.

Hmmm - Textpad doesn't install anything in the registry (in my experience anyway - I just copy the executables etc and run it). It may originally ship with an installer though.
