Does anyone know of a better C/C++ code editor out there for QNX 4.25? The Watcom editor and vedit are terrible! I'm 
currently using ped which is only remotely better but is still just a basic text editor like using notepad in windows.
    I can’t believe that in all the years QNX 4 has been around no one has taken a stab at making a better GUI based C-
code editor with some InteliSense-like functionality.

If anyone knows of any such app or if anyone has any info on an old attempt to do so that I could take over and try my 
hand at, please let me know.

No market.  Most QNX4 developers were born when no such editor existed. Given them vi and they will outrun anyone using 
them fancy editor.  Took about a year to convince 10 QNX4 people who are now working with QNX6 to start using Eclipse ;-
)

Only real solution, if you can`t live with such a functionality, is to edit from another OS that supports the kind of 
editor you are looking for.
