Re: Open source options to RDi for offline source editing?

Your work license for RDi will be valid for use on the laptop as well as long as both are not in use at the same time - so you really don’t need anything else.

The trial version of RDi lasts for 60 (or is it 90?) days - so you don’t actually need to wait for the keys to come as long as you anticipate them within a couple of months. No need to reinstall once you get the keys - just apply the keys.

As to your other options PersonalRPG is a compiler rather than an editor and I doubt it is up to V7 level. RPG Next Gen is quite nice but I don’t believe has full syntax checking. Never heard of JSEU before.

In a previous job, I had RDi on a work laptop. Current job uses desktops
and am expecting to get RDi as soon as the licenses come in.

I'd like a simple offline editor I can use on a personal laptop (Win7) and
not spend RDi kind of bucks. I think my preferences are fairly basic, but
not sure:
* source code compatible with RDi
* v7r1 syntax checking

I see there are some sourceforge projects (Last modification timestamp in
parentheses):
* RPG Next Gen Editor (2010-07-06)
* JSEU (2013-04-16)
* PersonalRPG (2013-03-27)

Are there any other options to consider?
