About Enigma

Enigma is an editor and IDE with a difference. Like other editors, you can use Enigma as a text and image editor and configure it to automatically feed text files into your favourite compiler. The text editor currently includes syntax colouring for C/C++, Java, C#, HTML, Pascal, Basic, ASM, Fortran, Perl, Python and PHP files. You can also configure Enigma to provide colouring for other languages. Both the text editor and the image editor have multiple undo/redo facilities as well as many other features you would normally expect in a good IDE.

The difference between Enigma and other IDEs is that you can also use Enigma to create and edit resources (dialogs, 'editors', menus, tool bars, status bars....) on the fly. These become Enigma add-ons with the result that you can create and release your own applications based on Enigma.
