After having programmed in C for a number of years, I have come across
various useful components to a programmer's environment; however, I still
wonder if other tidbits have passed me by.  My question is this, what would
you, the programmer, consider part of the ideal C programming environment
(some of this, I realize, is useful for other than C programming, but
that is not of my concern :->)?  I would certainly include:
	- make
	- a symbolic debugger
	- error (on UNIX -- inserts comments which are error msgs.)
	- a C interpereter (which can call compiled sub-modules)
	- a C compiler (of-course)
	- vi
	- curses (no flames, please)

what else would you include (it doesn't have to exist) ?  I am anxiously 
awaiting the response.

Or, to generalize, scrap vi and replace it with
<substitue whatever editor you are most comfortable with
or rabidly addicted to here>.  Much religion here.

Or, to finish the trinity, scrap <whatever editor you
are unable to comprehend with the ease that came from
having no choice but to learn the one you currently
use> and replace it with <whatever editor
you are most comfortable with or rabidly addicted
to>.  Much religion here.
