Program File Editor Oldie but goodie

I was once a young programmer (ok script kiddie; however those days are over. At least the man thinks so.) I loved writing macro’s, vbscript and jscripts to mostly mess with my friends making their cdrom drives open and close and floppy drives try to read. All good times.

When I started at my first true getting paid to write complex batch, command files, inf scripts as well as long html/xhtml/xml scripting. I was using notepad and had many syntax errors due to lack of syntax outlining like a great IDE that I couldn’t afford. That is when my boss pointed me to a great little application call Program File Editor. I was amazed by the ability of this robust little application.

My favorite part was the little record button that would make what ever I did like line spacing as well as parsing long xml strings easy and very efficient.

Created by Alan Phillips at Lancaster University. Also has not been updated since 1999. As you can see it still works in Vista.

If you need a great little application to write complex macro’s or a great little text editor give Program File Editor a try.
