Re: Announcing Damien v0.01a -- The IDE for VEL
Hi Gary,
WOW! Damien is beautiful, well worth the waiting for it! Before I downloaded
it, I first read the text on your website, and I thought: "Maybe a bit
overdone, the comparisons with Delphi and VB IDE's". But, as far as I can
see now, after maybe 15 minutes, Damien totally lives up to the expectations
for an alpha/beta release.
I think you're lucky that you didn't give up on VEL, when the reception
wasn't what you expected it to be. Now this product has to have a better
reception, I'm quite sure of that!
But, after the cheering, there always is a moment of contemplation, and then
you have to go back to the programming dungeon to get some bugs out and new
features in. Well, I found some (minor) bugs, here they are:
- You forgot to put vel005.e in the zip file.
- The editor doesn't accept TAB keys.
- When I ran a test program, all controls of the IDE disappeared, as they
should, except for the Form. I still was there in the background, only
unclickable and unclosable.
- The main form doesn't have the CENTERED attribute in the object inspector.
I'm sure these are minor bugs/omissions, that can be worked out quite
easily. But you surely deserve a big compliment for this excellent piece of
software.
Keep up the good work!
Ad Rienks
