Stop using Win 95 or 98 and use NT or NT Workstation for cat's sakes. I 
have to reboot my NT box, maybe, once every two weeks, and this is a 
development machine, which tends to make it more unstable. And the reason I 
usually have to reboot is to install new software.

If you haven't used a PC editor for any length of time, I can't imagine how 
you can rate whether they have any obvious benefits. Have you tried ASNA's 
Visual RPG? Have you used CODE/400 for a period longer than a couple of 
hours? FlexEdit? MultiEdit? Visual Studio?

The rest of the programing world moved on at *least* five or six years ago. 
Why use an old claw hammer when you can work with an air nailer?
