GUI and Rapid Application Development 1539

I use 'vi' regularly, too! Use it a lot for short editing sessions, such as changing just a few lines in a config. file. But for longer code-development tasks, I prefer Emacs.

I've bound my Emacs's F9 to invoke "perl -wc", which is faster than Ctrl+F5. (And I could also bind it to Ctrl+F5 if I preferred so. Emacs is so customizable.)

Not as convenient as in Emacs, because Emacs provides a nice front-end to CVS-RCS-SVN. That means you can do most version-control tasks with a few keystrokes, instead of typing long long commands.

CVSNT has been there for years. You can treat it as a clone of CVS for the NT-Win32 platform.

Rather than wasting the time to handle the backups, it worths learning to use those real VC tools.

Yes. It's difficult with Windows programs. They don't support the "tag" then "process tagged files" model, which I missed so much from PCTools 5.1R -- until I found it in Emacs!

Is that free?

I don't mean speech-to-text. I mean text-to-speech.

It'd be nice to listen to your findings. :)
