Overview

The Zeus Lite programmer's editor is designed for developers working on the Windows platform, so if you're looking for a powerful programmer's editor then Zeus Lite might be for you.

Zeus Lite is completely free of nag screens or any other limitations and best of all it is 100% free of charge.

To get a better idea of what Zeus Lite has to offer here is a review of an earlier version of the Zeus Lite editor describing some of the programming features on offer.

Every feature described in that review will be found in current version of Zeus Lite and better still, as current version is much newer, there will be plenty of new features found in Zeus Lite that are not covered by this review.
