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

[Jon Paris <jon.paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
