There are additional editors available for use on the PCs in the lab. However, none of them are quite as advanced or full-featured as VIM or Emacs. We recommend using either VIM or Emacs for writing code.
Notepad is the text editor included with Windows. It has copy and paste and search functions, but no syntax highlighting or other advanced features.
The Visual Studio development suite has a built-in editor that can be used to edit assembly language programs. However, although it does perform limited syntax highlighting, it's written for MASM syntax, not the NASM syntax we use in ECE 291.
