   Hey August!   
      
   > You can define an external editor you want in OpenXP:   
      
   Same situation with both msged and golded.  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,
