1. RE: MEditor released!
Hi Pete,
I tried to download the full source (third link) and got a 404.
Could you please check the link to make sure it's pointing in the right
direction? It may also be the time of day and the fact that I'm trying
to download from N.A. (net bog, you know) but I'd be grateful if you
took a look anyway.
Thanks!

2. RE: MEditor released!
Hi Pete,
Just had a look at MEditor and it looks very promising. Found a couple
of buglets though:
- When you resize the window the repaint is not working quite right and
you get a lot of rectangular edges appearing where the previous client
area margin was.
- The second time I tried to run the editor I got a series of errors
about the following variables not being assigned a value in pixmap.e:
fontheight,fontwidth
pixmaprows, pixmapcolumns
Uncommenting the assignments to the first two and assigning zero to the
last two seems to fix the problem.
I was running the full source version on Win2K.
Keep up the good work!

Hi Pete,
Great work I love the editor. In particular the quick jump feature.
At the moment you have one colour for keywords & another for builtins. I
would like to see another for win32lib and a forth for Learned words. So
then I would like to see a menu button which when clicked the editor
learns the global functions/procedures of an include file I tell it, and
save these to a text file which is read when the editor loads. I see
this feature as handy because there are some includes that I use
regularly.
Thanks

Give your hardest tasks to your lasiest workers.
They will always find the easiest way to complete it.
4. RE: MEditor released!
Pete,
Unfortunately the original ex.err got overwritten. I reinstalled the
editor but now I can't reproduce the error! My vague recollection was
that I opened the editor, opened a couple of files, changed some of the
colours and altered the size of the window. When I shut the editor down
and restarted it then I got the errors I mentioned. If I manage to
reproduce it then I will send you the ex.err, but probably just
initialising the variables in pixmap.e will do the trick...
A couple more for your list:
- I notice that the editor automatically saves the files that you are
working on when you shut it down. I would prefer to be given the option
to save (or not) explicitly. Perhaps an 'autosave on exit' option should
appear in the options menu? Also, if you have 2 new files which are
unsaved when you shut the editor, only one default file [untitled] is
created and the contents of the second file overwrite the first.
- A very minor point: The text in the status bar flickers quite a lot
as you move the mouse over the client area. It looks from the code that
the update routine for the status bar is invoked from the onMouse_MAIN
routine (via the setLineNumber call) for every mouse message, even if
the line number has not changed.

This message has been sitting in my inbox, until I had time to go and
download it.
Pete, good job. I like the standard windowsey sort of interface much better,
and you fixed up almost all the bugs I've noticed in the last one.
Two things (you knew it was coming, didn't you):
=>Sometimes when you run a program, when it finishes, the editor is sized
almost to nothing, and you have to re-maximise it. Is this supposed to
happen?
=>No support for the scrollwheel on the mouse to move the window up and
down. I've had a scroll mouse for many years, and I use it for whatever I
can. Isn't that an API function?
Keep up the good work.
