Text Editors

Text Editors are programs that allow manipulation of text files. Text editors range from low-tech ones such as Notepad, through to complex ones such as Multi-Edit, and development based ones such as The Hammer.

The Hammer is an Open Source text editor written in Dataflex. It is designed with Dataflex users in mind, and as a result is one of the few editors that support code markup for VDF files.
