With all of the talk about editors lately, I was wondering who has
really nice stand-alone Cobol editors. Is there something for Windows
that offers Cobol syntax highlighting, ftp open/save, copybook
awareness, etc that makes editing Cobol source a pleasure?

I sometimes use StarBases CodeWright instead of ISPF Edit. Both are
fine, but not great.

Anyone have some great editor suggestions?
