Most of the (other) people on this list weren't born when the internet was
built.

But we do, esp. when they ask rational questions politely.

WTF is a C/C++ editor as such ? On any current Linux distribution, typing
one of the following commands (in order of preference) should start you an
editor

xemacs
emacs
jed
joe
jove
pico
vim
vi

Note that not every distribution, or your particular installation of it,
will have all of these editors, but they all should have at least one. ALL
of the above wil edit C/C++ along with A, B, BASIC, BCPL, COBOL, DIBOL,
elisp, forth, Gnu C and any other text you care to mention. Some of the
better editors will even have syntax highlighting and other support for
various of these languages, including C/C++



Kindest regards,


Niall
