Hi tsgdavid,
I used to be a software engineer with Microsoft previously. I even sort of beta tested a version of VS 2010 even before the whole world sees it :). One thing you can do is add a small post/pre build script that will open an ftp session and copy it to vms. Go to Project->options or whatever. That way you need not configure anything :)
I will check with my old colleagues to see if any of them have used that used it the way you mentioned. Theoretically it should work though.
Just supplementing John here.There are other freeware editors that provides nearly the same functionality as notepad++. Notepad++ uses scintilla as the rendering component basically. So you get a family of scintilla based editors :), Scite , Notepad2 and so forth
(a) CodeBlocks :-
www.codeblocks.org/ (b) Context:-
http://www.contexteditor.org/(c) Notepad2 :-
http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.htmlOther thing you can do is roll your own, VMS does have support for the curses library also it provides SMG$ routines too. It may not very difficult to port something like FED :
http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/fed/ . But that is *SOME* work. But you can use the basic data structures and just rewrite the rendering part:) .
As for me, vim is one true editor.
