Re: How do YOU edit source on your MUD?

Sometimes I'll use pico or nano in shell, but usually I use BBEdit (OSX, OS 9 when I had that). It has an FTP window and will open/save to the file on the server. This works great with ONE coder going at a time, but in the past I've had 'hey, you editing something_source.c?' moments.

Absolutely love the newest BBEdit though, it has foldable code (so I can close between braces to see functions/checks easier), I can fold any 'if' check or switch/for/while etc statement so I just see the if (somecheck){<>}, it might be 300 lines between but I can fold it. Also, line numbering on the side lets me know where I'm at, and shows line number ranges in folded code. That, and the grep function is awesome in BBEdit.
