VincEd.

Kingcon is ok, but not very powerful. VincEd is better, if you have time to study it and configure it properly.

Rob, Voytech & KennyR: You all say that because it came with OS39. You can come up with any number of excuses, but the previus statement remains true.


Wrong, I used VincEd long before OS3.9 came out. I'd never go back to KingCON. It's just too limited. Where's the background processes? Where's bg and fg? Why doesn't ctrl+z spawn a new console in the same window ? Why are ascii colours screwed up and why can't I set their pens? Where are all the window open parameters I need? All the special escape codes? The prioritised filename completion? The horizontal scrollbar?

Nah, no chance. KingCON is a kiddie tool. :)
