That said, neither CoolEdit or JOE are "new" applications. JOE was first
released on August 22, 1992 and CoolEdit was originally part of Midnight
Commander file utility, originally named "mcedit." Not sure when mcedit
first came out, but Midnight Commander (mc) was first released in 1994.
I think I read that mcedit, itself, came out in 1998. I don't know
what's changed since then or how it got the CoolEdit name — or what
features were added over the years. But CoolEdit's origin is not new.

Trivia: Midnight Commander was a clone of Norton Commander by Miguel de
Icaza.

To go full circle my project when I started using DJGPP was porting mc
back to Windows. The basic functionality wasn't too difficult but ftp and
other network operations were.

Corinna Vinschen of Cygwin and Mumit Khan of MinGW grew from DJGPP with
separate philosophies. Cygwin wanted to replicate a Linix environment of
Windows while MinGW uses Linux tools to build native Windows applications.
