You could try Edit Plus2. I'm not sure how great it'll be, though. I've only used it for JS, HTML, and some Java.

Wow... I find the existence of this thread hard to believe. In case you guys weren't aware, back in the time when the C programming language was designed, making a compiler  not free would have been considered mostly not sane...

If you're used to a Windows environment and want to develop for Windows in C with the help of free software, to http://www.bloodshed.net/ you go. Just download Dev-C++ and follow the instructions on that site to find out how to set it up. I've never used Dev-C++ myself - I just use gcc (the compiler that Dev-C++ uses) directly and do my code editing with emacs, but what I've heard is that Dev-C++ is really a rather nice environment, too...

*slaps Ari* You should know better than to bestow THAT much knowledge on a Charas user!
