RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Decent free G-code editor?

Hi Abby, Seh ?

I use Text Pad as a general purpose text, C or ASM editor.

http://www.textpad.com/

Does ConTEXT have "keyword highlighting" for Gcode? I saw a list of stuff
that maybe it works with/for? Do you have to download a separate version
editor for each one, or possibly an ini file?
