Hi,

Very nice tool - will do XML syntax checking - will correctly
display DMTF MOF files (yuck!!!) in a readable manner.

Many thanks to Rick (be sure to pick up his read-me in the
same FTP directory to know how to install the MOF syntax
highlighter).

Cheers,
- Ira

Subject: WIMS> CIM> Freebie color editor for MOF files

For anyone who needs to edit DMTF MOF files, or just look at them, I just
uploaded a free editor with color highlighting for the keywords that will at
least give some appearance of structure to MOF syntax.  (If you are already
using UltraEdit or vi or something more advanced, never mind.)  Even if you
are not editing, the color helps readability.  Personally, I can't read MIBs
or MOFs without color highlighting; they're just a blaze of gray otherwise.

ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/tools/NotepadPlusPlusEditorForMOFs.zip and a
Readme file with instructions.
