Windows editors - do they have to be so bad?
widgewunner:
I just looked at the Zeus webpage and must admit I am impressed. However, after reading some of the forum, it appears that Zeus has been (and may still be) using an older regular expression engine. Is this still true?
Jussi Jumppanen:
I have one complaint about it. Revisions come infrequently with trivial or barely noticeable improvements and upgrade prices are way out of line with the meager improvements.-tide (April 17, 2009, 01:13 AM)

The Zeus 3.96 version has had free upgrades since 19 th Jan 2007: http://www.zeusedit.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=6
As it stands, minor upgrades should be free to registered users.

Zeus uses a unix/perl style of regular expression engine. Another user suggested the engine in Zeus is old, but I've never really understood what it is that makes an engine old or new?
Recently I wrote a C# project that made extensive use of the Microsoft C# regular expression object. All the regular expressions used in that project where written and tested in Zeus and they worked just fine in the C# regular expression object.

Excuse me, but I am running the five year old version 3.94a and now you're at 3.96r? That change is in the SECOND DECIMAL PLACE of the revision number. That's supposed to be MAJOR?
Your upgrade page says
"This upgrade option is available to any Zeus user running the older 3.9x version who wishes to upgrade to the latest version."
and the cost of that would be $49.95.

But that's a-z then a-r, plus 2 decimal places -- that's at least 36 point changes ;P
