Just thought I'd drop in this interesting bit of info.

I use VC++ ( Visual Studio) professionally and love it's syntax highlighting
etc, and so I use it for editing my Yaroze files too.

Unfortunately I haven't figured out how to get it to use GCC for compiling
yet, but still.

Anyhoo, I edit all my .C and .H files using Visual Studio then I use a batch
file to compile and link them, so I can do everything from within windows
and never need to drop out to the command box.
I can even create a visual studio  project which contains all my files.

Here's my batch file...

call g:\psx\djsetup
call make
pause

The first line sets up the environment variables, the 2nd calls make and the
pause just lets me see the results of my make.
