That's the announcement that I released the SET's editor v0.4.13:
That's a bug fix release. If you are using v0.4.12 under Windows 95 and with
LFN=Y you MUST download it because the old version is affected by a strong
bug in djgpp v2.01's truename library function.
What's SET's editor?
Is the same editor you can find inside RHIDE but without the IDE itself,
as it's the last version have more features (and bugs?, I hope it have
less ;-).
For the people that doesn't know about RHIDE:
Is an editor specially designed for C/C++ programmers.
Main features:
* Easy to use for DOS users because have a lot of CUA and Wordstar commands
used in the editors of other compilers.
* Full configurable keyboard (new).
* Full configurable menu (new).
* Advanced features: Rectangular blocks, intelligent indent, configurable
syntax highlight and more.
* Simple macro language, will be expanded only if the people is interested
and helps a bit (new).
* PMacros for fast writing.
* Real macros (new).
* Documentation tool for libraries or large projects (new).
* Fonts, code pages, screen modes and palette customization (new).
* You can run make or grep from the editor collecting the errors/hints (new).
* Clock and screen saver (new).
Why I could want to download it if RHIDE exists?
The editor is the newest version v0.4.13 and have a lot of differences with
the one included in RHIDE 1.4.2 (v0.3.6).
Here are some of the reasons you could have:
1) You like the editor and want to use it without needing to start the whole
IDE. The editor have a half of the size of RHIDE mainly because GDB isn't
inside of the editor. I use my editor to edit all the files I create ;-).
2) You are a RHIDE fanatic and want to test the new features or check if
some bug was killed. I specially recommend it for people that have problems
with the bugs in "Optimal fill" and for the ones who wants to see macros or
word wrap in RHIDE.
3) You are a djgpp fanatic and want to collect anything made with djgpp (I'm
one of these crazy mans ;-).
4) You don't like RHIDE at all, you think it sucks, but you think you can
help to make it a really good thing.
Ok, where can I get it?
http://stropea.home.ml.org/edi0413b.zip
or
http://setsoft.home.ml.org/edi0413b.zip
These are 2 different servers, don't get fooled by the domain, is fake.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the list of new/fixed things:
New:
* When opening a read-only file now the editor makes a warning and offers to
change the file attributes.
* Now you can set some things from the command line:
--no-signal Avoids hooking all the signals. Use it if when the editor
crashes your computer crashes too.
--no-redirect Avoids the stderr redirection. Use it if you have any problem
with the erXXXXXX files.
--force-no-lfn Don't use LFN even when LFN is Y.
--force-lfn Use LFN even when LFN is N.
I use these options when debuging, don't know if somebody could need it.
Fixed:
* Patched truename because it was failing producing a hard bug when using save
as in enviroments with LFN=Y. The whole directory was renamed. (thanks to
Ilya and Myknees).
* The aligment and size of some russian and normal chars in 3 fonts.
(thanks to Alexander,BY).
* When no tcedit.dst file found the editor selected ISO 8879-1 code page
messing the graphic chars. (thanks to Myknees).
* When opening files and getting error the editor generated a GPF.
(thanks to Ilya,RU)
* In the auto-indent mode sometimes the editor was increasing the indentation
level without a logical reason.
