TextPad
ASCII MapMaker
The primary task of Wizards is to create the Igor world for mortals to play in. That’s done through coding, using the LPC object-oriented programming language.
As is often the case, some Wizards are better idea people and some Wizards are better coders. Luckily we have many people who are happy to work together, sharing ideas and coding talents, and there are many programming tools out there to help the newbie Wizard and even the most experienced programmer develop the Igor world. Here are some which the Igor Wizards use and recommend.
TextPad

TextPad Is Great/14/Carlyle<116>Tues Sep 10 11:12:15 2002
You gotta have this if you’re gonna program ANYTHING, LPC, HTML,
whatever. It can help you spot errors before you pipe code through the
compiler, because of the color coding changes of key code terms. Just
save your file to a C, C++ or LPC file and *bang* away you go. :)

TextPad stuff /24/ Zack <125> Sat Sep 7 02:22:14 2002
I know some here (as well as I ) use the TextPad editor
when working with the Igor coding, mainly because it is free
(well almost) and it supports the Unix text format for us
poor Windows sods. Anyway, in ~zack/open/textpad there are 2 files:
igor.syn and igor.tcl
igor.syn
A symbol file with the efuns, kfuns and lfuns marked as keywords.
Put this in the TextPad/System directory.
In TextPad->Configure->Preferences->Document classes->C->Syntax
set it to igor.syn to have a Igorified syntax highlighting.
(by default the C and C++ share doc. class, but you can easily
split them up if you wish).
igor.tcl
A Clip Book making some common code structures available with the click of
the mouse button. Put it in the directory specified in
...->Preferences->Folders->Clip Library
Questions? Just ask! :-)

There is also the general LPC .syn for textpad on textpads
homepage.
TextPad is simply an aswsome editor for all types of textediting :)
