That's a nice feat, but Boxer needs to find the keywords 'warning' or 'error' (or any user-defined keywords...) to work properly. And DJGPP emits explicit 'warnings', but no universal keyword for 'error'. Since other advanced editors might suffer the same problem, would it be possible without too much efforts to include 'error' at a defined position in every error message? Would that interfere with any standard formats or a desired compatibility? I know, this is trifle and vain. Anyway, just wanted to add my tiny tiny part to the DJGPP project :-) Elmar -- /----------------------------------------------------------------\ | Elmar Vogt : MS->PhD | voice: (+49)9131/761-207; fax: ...-202 | | LUR, Schottkystr. 10 |http://www.rrze.uni-erlangen.de/~iwur08/ | |University of Erlangen| Elmar DOT Vogt AT rzmail DOT uni-erlangen DOT de | |91058 Erlangen-Germany| Vogt AT nt DOT e-technik DOT uni-erlangen DOT de | |-------- VIS VISCERIS, NON FERRO FERTUR (T.
