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

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.
