Just started out with C and are looking for a good editor
in *nix that marks the code with colors.

This is maybe a newbie thing to have the C code in colors
but i like it and you can almost always se when you are typing wrong.

Ive heard that emacs should have that option but i havent found it.

Any ideas??

Latest version of vi text editor uses color codes.
The latest version is called vim (some called gvim)
you might want to check out its webpage www.vim.org

Here's an interesting angle, I've tried to find a good programmers editor like DOS BRIEF, and I did not want to use either of emacs or vi :-)

I came up with these:
FTE (the closest to BRIEF I could find)
nedit (simple, easy to add syntax highlighting for
library functions)
snavigator (very similar to TurboC once you get to know it)
If syntax highlighting is all you need, use mc.

Unfortunately, only FTE and MC work in text mode :-(

Thanks fellas, I will do some tests. with the ones you guys
have mention.
