Good Web Authoring Tool for MAC OS 9?

[Easynews]

Hi,

i'm looking for described Software with at least these features:

- Projekt Management (or basically just show folder content)
- Uploading to FTP Server
- HTML Syntax highlightiing
- PHP Syntax highlighting
- Not overblown interface
- as cheap as possible

Something like Homesite on the PC.

Everything seems to be OS X these days. Thanks for your tips!

TIA

It's Java, so it's any OS.

What's vi?

It's Java, so it's any OS.

Quote from site: "jEdit does not run on MacOS 9.x and earlier, since
there is no Java 1.3 for that OS."

Still good for my (soon to be) Mac OSX, but not for the OP.

What's vi?

vi was written by Bill Joy in 1976, when he found that ed and ex were not
suited to his needs. Many regard it as the standard editor, and most
flavours of Unix come with it - although especially in the GNU/Linux world
emacs has a strong following. There is an ongoing holy war between vi and
emacs lovers about which one is better. Tim O'Reilly is an avid vim user
and his publishing house sells more books on vi than any other text
editor). Amongst hackers vi is hailed as the Zenclavier
(http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/news/zenclavier_1299.html) and
used for all kinds of extreme keyboarding no other tool will acomplish
(such as editing files online over a 300 Baud connection).

MacOS X ships with vi (actually it's vim, which stands for vi improved)
included and you can download vi clones for Windows - I'd go with vim
(http://www.vim.org/).

vi is extremely userfriendly, but like Unix it is picky about who its
friends are.

Find out more about vi in this interview with Bill Joy.

You're right! AAAAH! I can't believe it though. I sometimes use OS X and I
did not verify availability of a JRE for Mac OS 9. Probably there are JREs
for Linux/PPC or Linux/68k?

I'm late to this thread and this has probably been mentioned. I use BBEdit
on OS9. Last I looked, it worked on both 9 and X. Go to
<http://www.barebones.com/>. It's a great editor. They used to have a free
lite version. It'll be there if it's still available.

But you can still download it from that same page.
