In their favour is that the source       is c (msged) or c++ (golded). Last I checked they both worked with whatever       gcc/g++ version I was using at the time.              However despite the above, I still prefer my modified MSG format which can       handle many, many, many differing 8-bit codepages such as the IBM ones, cp437       and cp866 being the most popular, neevermind pure utf-8. Neither squish nor       jam based editors, can compete as far as I am concerned and therefore no       attraction for another application especially one that requires an additional       compiler.              Also, I actually use vim in my day-to-day text editting so I can always count       on it to be part and parcel of any build I have done over the past 30 years or       so.              Дуже груви,        Maurice              -o o- -o -o -o -o o- -o -o o- -o o-        (\ /) (\ (\ (\ (\ /) (\ (\ /) (\ /)        ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^       ...
