Seamlessly integrates with your existing compilers and debuggers. With compiler output redirected to the Programmer Studio IDE, you can compile and highlight errors with a single click. Interactively control remote debuggers to quickly insert breakpoints, step through code, quick-watch expressions and even display the call stack and local variables. Currently supports GDB, WDB, DBX, XDB, TRAX and PERL.

Target any development platform. Using FTP and TELNET, Programmer Studio allows you to seamlessly develop on most server platforms from within a Windows IDE.

Familiar development environment reduces the learning curve for users of other Windows development products such as Microsoft Visual Studio®.

CodeAware technology provides a detailed view of the syntax of individual files or entire projects.

Navigate the syntax of a file or project as a collapsible tree view, double-clicking to quickly view the actual syntax definition.

Type info provides detailed definition information by simply placing the mouse pointer above a recognized expression.

Parameter tips provide argument highlighting when typing functions and procedures.

Auto complete provides a list of possible recognized expressions to complete a partial string.

Auto list members provide a list of object/structure members when the recognized delimiter is typed after a known variable.

Projects can be used to organize your files based on program, language, user – you name it. Assign compilers to each file or groups of files; customize each compile command if necessary. Build commands can be assigned to project folders for large, multi-server, projects.

Visual File Compare analyzes the differences between two files. The side-by-side display provides a simple visual representation of any differences allowing either file to be quickly synchronized.

Embedded language support allows you to quickly switch color syntax highlighting between different embedded languages in the same source file including support for ASP, PHP and HTML.

Extensive COBOL support, automatically insert new lines in sequence or renumber a file when saving. Support for COBOL’85 line tags, COBOL syntax structure navigation, enable automatic tag update when modifying lines or re-tag a range of lines.

Spell check a selection, a file, or even just the text appearing in quoted strings



"This editor is without a doubt the best Code Editor I have ever used for cross platform application development! The new interface in Version 4.0 brings this product to a whole new level. The new file open dialog box puts all files on all systems at your finger tips! Another great bonus is that it uses FTP and Telnet to open files and perform compiles on remote systems. You can't go wrong with this software."
