Hello,
My name is Dominique, and i'm working on a new editor especialy made for
EUPHORIA !
It will be very small, actually 64K.
What stage am i on ?
1) Based on Richedit,
2) No size limits, ( > 64 K )
3) Color syntaxing,
4) Will consist of only ONE file, ( no DLL, etc ... )
5) Made without Euphoria, but FOR IT !
6) Compile directly your source code from it, ( chose the right compiler
for you : ex, or exw
depending on your source extension )
7) Able to edit multiples file on the same time, going from one to
another with just a simple clic !
8) I'm working on it on a regularly way, then it will grow and GROW and
. . . .
9) It will be made of what we all need from it !
Who is interested on it ?
My plans:
1) Be faster, actually i syntax colour ALL the text on one pass ! Also
the colouring of Winlib32 take
one or two minutes !
2) Implement a fast searching method, with replace option,
3) Collates all Procedures and Functions names into a Combo Box to gain
fast acces,
4) The best of all, for registred users ( to Euphoria ! ) tha ability to
take out of the binded final program
all the unused procedures and functions. I think it will decrease
the final size of the prog ? ? ( The bibded one ! )
Well, just no perfect enough for distributing it now, but i would need
to know if anyone could be interested
on it ? ? ?
Just waiting for news from YOU, . . .
Dominique Bodin.

just one thing here, RichEdit needs a DLL ( richedit32.dll i think its called )
but its included in every windoze distro so i dont think that will matter at
all.
another thing, is it in visual basic or C++ or what? if it is VB there are alot
of runtime DLL's people have to download even if you editor dont use all of
them.

And some of us don't have *any* VB anything on the puter, cause there are loads
of
email viruses that need them to run.

Answer:
Yes, of course it will need the windows DLL, but no one else !
It uses Richedit32.DLL.
No, it isn't made with VB, NOR c/c++ !
And it will be a standalone 32 bits executable, except for the Windows DLL.
My first plan is to work on the search and replace function, i'll keep
every one aware of the evolution . . .
Nice day to every one .

Hi Dominique,
I have been using Mike Carroll's Win32 Editor (also written in another
language). I like this editor but there are minor bugs and size limits in
Win9x (size limits disappear in Win2000).
I mention this only to give you something to work towards, and make better.
(One of the main reasons I stick with it is it's ability to list routines
and lets you jump to them easily. Mike Carroll doesn't hang around much
anymore and support for this nice editor is therefore lost. If you could
make an editor with this type of functionality I would be happy to beta test
it for you. (...and I've got plenty of experience testing this type of
application.)

Hy Brian,
I will be great to let you beta test my ED, as soon as i will find it
relatively usable.
I'm working on the research method ( I'm also learning to use the langage
in witch it is programmed !)
For now, there seems to be no limit in the size of the text you can edit
with it, it works fine with David Cuny's Win32lib witch is actualy
around 450K...( unless it take 3 min & 10 sec to syntax colour it !)
Next news latter, or during this weekend if i'm able to do the research
working.
See you . . .

Hello,
Here are the news about my new editor for Euphoria:
1) I call it Euphorie. ( It a time with good fun in french. )
2) Research works well, Research again, Up & Down as well !
3) For now, as it's very long in syntax colouring a big text,
i puted a Check Box to let you able to disable the colouring
when loading a long text...
4) Always under 64K ! And all without any other DLL but Windows ones !
5) I won't be able to translate it to Linux, the langage i use is only
available to Windows PC, sory for you folks !
Well i saw not many of you looking for it !
Is it of no interest for you ?
If so, i'll keep it for me !
Stay tuned...
News will follow next days or so.

Well, I am still interested... you might want to post a download URL to get
the best test coverage. And may I ask what language you have chosen to
write this editor?

Hi,
right now I'm working on my own editor called MFCED(Multi-File Color
EDitor).
You might want to try adding help files(like right-clicking or pressing F1
on a keyword in QuickBASIC) and macros to your editor.
P.S. My editor still has buggy editing code, and I could send you a disk
with the code on it and maybe take a whack at it. If you'd like to know more
about it, just <A HREF="mailto:Uglyfish87 at Hotmail.com?About MFCED">mail
me</A> and I'll tell you everything you need to know.
