Yes, I use this editor every day, as it works identically on Windows, Linux, OSX, FreeBSD, DOS (!), etc., and is easy to port.

The windows version has always flickered something fierce for me, no idea why.

How well does it handle large files? (Like, several gigabytes large).

Hmm. Never happens to me.

Badly. For one thing, it's a 32 bit program and tries to do everything in memory.

I'm trying to build this on Windows, but:

[ With dmd version 2.057 ]

C:\med>make -fwin32.mak DMD=dmd
dmd -c -g display
display.d(860): Error: function display.vtputs called with argument types:

C:\med2>make -fwin32.mak DMD=dmd

dmd -c -g basic

Any clues?
