Text editor or framework for SKILL...

Hello All,

I've got some general questions about tools which could be used to write programs in SKILL. First of all could you recommend some text editor which highlights the SKILL syntax. Right now my main problems concerns syntax errors based on the problem that I'm for example passing wrong argument types to my procedures... Is there maybe a tool which could help me with this problem in SKILL, such as for example Eclipse for J2EE or Visual Studio for .Net? If not – even some text editor with the right syntax highlight for SKILL will be sufficient.

Thanks,

ToM

    Thank you all for your reply,

    I've managed to install SKILL language highlighting options in Nedit. It works just fine, but I've got a problem with ctags. While running ctags (ver. 5.7) under my Linux with SKILL files it doesn't produce any output besides code:

    !_TAG_FILE_FORMAT 2 /extended format; --format=1 will not append ;" to lines/

    !_TAG_FILE_SORTED 1 /0=unsorted, 1=sorted, 2=foldcase/

    !_TAG_PROGRAM_AUTHOR Darren Hiebert /dhiebert@users.sourceforge.net/

    !_TAG_PROGRAM_NAME Exuberant Ctags //

    !_TAG_PROGRAM_URL http://ctags.sourceforge.net /official site/

    !_TAG_PROGRAM_VERSION 5.7 //

    And when I use ctags with my C# files it works just fine. I've read on ctags page that SKILL is not on the list of supported languages. Is there any solution to this problem?

    Thanks,

    ToM
