It's not just "available" as one, it *is* rather obviously a
standalone program: viw.exe. That's why its integration with the rest
of the IDE is so mind-bogglingly limited. The IDE doesn't even manage
to bring the editor window to the front when you double-click a
compiler error, nor can you run "build" on a keypress inside the
editor window!

Why anyone would want viw instead of, say, gvim or ntemacs, though,
evades me ;-)
