The X2 Programmer's Editor is a text mode editor that is designed to make the code writing process as fast and easy as possible. There are versions available for OS/2, DOS, Windows NT/95/XP/Vista, Linux, AIX and Sun Solaris. All versions include:
- The ability to selectively exclude and show file lines
- Syntax highlighting of comments and keywords
- Rexx macro support (not available in the DOS version)
- A maximum line length of 50000 characters
- Display and edit of binary files
- An unlimited Undo/Redo stack
- Ring and Function navigation windows
- Easy user customisation for new filetypes and different key bindings
- Long filename support (not available in the DOS version)
- Saved session information (not available in the DOS version)
- Editing information saved between sessions
- Keystroke recording and playback
X2 and Rexx together can make a very powerful combination. For example, Rexx macros are available to turn X2 into a Usenet news reader or a POP mail client. See the download section for details.
