    Any decent text editor works, i.e. anything but Notepad ;)
    On Windows, I like https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ .

      Thank you! That is what I will use - Notepad ++ in my Windows 10 machine.

        Rob,

        How to make multi-colors on notepad ++. I just downloaded it. And could you compile a program as an execute file from .BAS to .EXE? On regular Notepad, my file is myhiroll.txt.

        Thanks,

        Cedric T. Jemison

          And could you compile a program as an execute file from .BAS to .EXE?

          Cedric,

          You could try this compiler to translate from .bas to .exe:

          If you need help, let me know.

          Cheers,
          Everton

            Everton,

            Is it required to download Go before downloading basgo-build_windows.amd64 version? I see Go is a large file (115mb) and I'm using windows 8.1 64-bit as an operating system.

            Thanks,
            Cedric

              No, Go is not required for basgo-build, but Go is going to be required to build the final EXE. The process goes like this:

              basgo-build: compiles from .BAS to .go
              go: compiles from .go to .EXE

              If you need further help, you can open issues at https://github.com/udhos/basgo/issues or email me directly. I guess we should avoid cluttering PCBASIC forum with discussions not directly related to it.

              Cheers,
              Everton

    If you are using Linux. Geany works a treat and has syntax highlighting for BASIC.

    The proper line endings can be set with [Document]-[Set Line Endings]-[Convert and Set
    to CR/LF (Windows)]
