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.

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! Phil Russell

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.

They will always find the easiest way to complete it.

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?
