Emacs

GNU Emacs, "the extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor," is available on most campus computers. If you want it on your own Windows box, visit the GNU Emacs Web page at MIT.

If you are entirely new to Emacs or have never used it as a platform for compiling and running programs, you may find the following primer useful (for Unix platforms as well as Windows):

Program Development Using GNU C++ and Emacs: An Introduction, by H. Allen Adams.

Emacs also has a built-in tutorial (type Esc-x help t) and "info system" (type Esc-x info).
