Howdy all, I'm new and was wondering if there are any decent, but powerful zzt editors. I would prefer a native windows interface and something stable that doesn't crash if you try to do something.
Any suggestions?
What's a decent editor to work on zzt games with.

KevEdit (the stable one)
ZAP (the modern one)
Stability might not be a problem if you save your work frequently. And making backups is always a good idea, no matter which editor you use.
KevEdit probably has more features, just because it's been around a lot longer than ZAP. But I don't have much experience with ZAP.
P.S. welcome!

I recall ZZTAE used some extra padding to mark itself.

As far as I know (and I haven't coded much since), ZAP doesn't watermark anything, it fills unused space with 00 just like KevEdit. ZZT actually places pieces of uninitialized memory in the file so it'll be different between machines (sometimes you'll get fragments of previously loaded worlds, data from TSRs, etc)
