Hi guys:

This isn't exactly on-topic, but...

I can recall someone a while back saying they *loved* QEdit, etc. Well, 
I use QEdit almost exclusively with DOS 'cause it's fast, small, etc. 
Always thought I couldn't get along without it. Well:

QEdit *STINKS*

I was building SPICE 2G6 and since the makefile was very old (the 
docs claimed it was for GCC-1.3.9, the original DJGPP, er, DJGCC !!!) I 
had to modify parts of it. But QEdit seems to like replacing tabs with 
spaces...

Since Make desires that command lines begin with tabs, everything went 
haywire when I saved the modified makefile and tried to rebuild. I 
finally got it working by editing the makefile with DOS EDIT    8(

I really felt stupid digging through the Info files and stuff when it was 
the *&^$%#@! editor which was screwing me...

BTW I got the f2c from the 1.12m4 distribution to rebuild with v2 without 
much problems, except you need a "cat" program 'cause the make requires 
it. I wrote a simple one using C then realized that you can duplicate the 
`cat file1 file2 file3 >file4' using `copy file1+file2+file3 file4'

Oh well...
