SciTe (http://scintilla.org) is my choose. it support folding, autoidentation, autocompletion, api tips and much more. I press F7 to call make, F5 to compile and run current file, Ctrl+F7 to compile current file to object file. It have output panel where all stderr & stdout from called programs go. And after all, it is fast and small like DMC :-)

I have grow to like Textpad - it works fluidly in Win32, and can copy huge copy-paste operations as fast as I can keep up with what is going on.  Everybody seems to come from the scholastic-professional arena where client-server is the *only* way to boogie. That is safer in production, but for exploration of how all this works, that 100 milliseconds makes me think the machine is hanging. I edit with a consumer kernel on a machine isolated from networks, then test on an isolated machine that is set up with all the client-server paths in the OS.

I use such things as class browsers and IDE's to understand the accomplished work of those farther along than I am, then write with all the #defines removed (that I can remove) so that I see as close as possible to what is actually being fed to the parser.

Not, that I understand the operation of the parser yet.

One of my professors used to say: "why doesn't anyone ask questions? Ask questions, there's no such thing as a dumb question." A couple lectures later, a student asks him how he got from C to D. The professor replied "you should have learned that in your previous class, go ask that prof about that, don't waste our time here with that question." Next lecture: "why doesn't anyone ask any questions?"

(Actually, he was a brilliant and gifted professor, I learned a ton in his classes. He was just funny about questions <g>.)

You've "Hit the nail on the head for me." - big time;

/////========LENGTHY POST========/////========LENGTHY POST========/////

I come in here like a corkscrew driven like a bottle rocket and one guy picks up my 'bait' - but I'm not trolling for lamers, I iz trolling for Phd's (+ up) I find this server, and look into it because of the way your compile tool is put together.

The guy that I engaged is Cesar Rabak, I went on for awhile and I asked the guy;

"This isn't your first day, is it ..."

He cites a url, and I have some work to put up, then go on to a regular day job.

Some of my best work is done at 4am, some of my work looks like it was done at 4am .... (*&^^%%%?...well of course it blew out !...)

Later, after I look at his url a little closer, I walk around for a week with a mild, occasional case of ego boost - I had engaged somebody who can walk through Rijndael like most people walk through the park;  I am still trying to get over the fear that a recursive func will stack-crash my isolated development platform. (runaway disk write without source code backed up)

I used to have this illiterate alcoholic from the hills of Tennessee [Harold Stockwell] tell me, Nick - yore too smart for ur own good.

Harold made 35-50,000 a year, couldn't look up girls names in his own black book..... He was just insightful about matters most people don't even reduce to questions.

I gotta tell ya the MBA story - I met one C____ A____ who held an MBA from S.M.U. - she went there on scholarship ~ {Nobody goes to the MBA school at SMU on scholarship} ~ grad Magna Cum Laude undergraduate work at T.A.M.U.

Got a job at American Airlines World Head Quarters.
Works at A.A. World H.Q. a coupla weeks and drags a few pounds of greenbar home:

"My boss posed me a practical to find out if I know what I am doing.  I am having trouble with it. Can you help me ?"

I told her, here - let me have the papars.  Looked at it 15-20 minutes and told here.  The blip at the beginning of the dataset is because people are buying tickets and some of them aren't getting on the plane right away....

I was correct.

If you factor in the $10,000 - $100,000 it takes to fulfill a 5 year program of formal study, then we have vast world empire of top-heavy, self-fullfilling mythology that is not bothered by a 900 ms delay in the GUI.

My real problem is that Harold too often proves right.

I think what your professor was doing was demonstrating for the class how the real world works, they teach in business school that same lesson.

Most efforts fail.

Syn text editor from sourceforge. The best text editor it can onvoque the compiler, bring the compiler's output to the editor and run the executable file created. It has plenty of other options.

What a load of bloody DRIBBLE  !

I can shorten it up for you dramatically. I was overpressured at that time and have since improved quite a bit. I skipped along the surface and the post is admittedly hard to read. It was pretty heady being able to keep up with Cesar Rabak, but much of the work I do is crisis intervention on big projects where it is almost impossible to keep the wheels on the runway.

I can straighten it out for you if you want.

Also, board administrators please note the email address I used at registration was taken from a site that proved to be a problem. I had no idea I would find a site of this caliber, nothing should be sent to that email address.

Again, I can deflate most of it for you if you want.

Nick.

The best text editor for me is gVim, but i prefer working in IDEs
such as Code::Blocks to performing manual operations.
