I've been using PFE for a couple of years now, but I'm giving serious thought to switching to UltraEdit. The main reason for me to switch is to get a product capable of coloring the code based on syntax, which I've found to be a real time-saver when it comes to looking over code. The price isn't bad, at $30 with a year's worth of upgrades...and I figure I can recoup that cost about the first time I don't have to bang my head against the wall for missing an obvious problem. ;-) Received on Sat Dec 19 1998 - 09:41:54 CET
