Brief, BRIEF, or B.R.I.E.F., an acronym for Basic Reconfigurable Interactive Editing Facility, was a popular programmer's text editor in the 1980s and early 1990s, clones are available. It was designed and developed by UnderWare Inc, a company founded in Providence, Rhode Island by David Nanian and Michael Strickman, and was published by Solution Systems. UnderWare moved to Boston, Massachusetts in 1985. In 1990, UnderWare sold BRIEF to Solution Systems which released version 3.1. In 1990 Solutions Systems brought in Eric Perkins as technical architect and team lead to port the OS/2 version of BRIEF to the Windows platform as quickly as possible. The end result was to sell the Solution System assets to the highest bidder. Within 6 months, the team of Eric Perkins, Blake Nelson and Jeff Simpson worked closely with David Nanian and Mike Strickman and ported BRIEF OS/2 to Windows using an MVC architecture. It was this version that was demonstrated at Spring Comdex 1991 to Borland and others, with Borland later purchasing BRIEF and the full suite of software tools from Solutions Systems. Solution Systems closed permanently after the sale to Borland. BRIEF is no longer sold by Borland. ==Features== The original product features contain: * A Lisp-like macro language; later, a C-like macro language was added * Completely configurable keyboard * Template editing and smart indenting for all major micro-compilers * Multiple undo/redo * Unlimited file size (restricted only by disk space) * Program compiling from within BRIEF, with "go to the next error line" service * Support for all major popular compilers * User configurations to support any other compiler with menu-driven setup * EMS caching for all files and macros * Mouse support * Complete edit operations * Regular expression search and replace * Multiple windows, including multiple windows on the same source file * Ability to set extremely high key-repeat rates 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brief (text editor)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
