Well, I'm glad you and others decided to humor me on this one.

Thanks for the post.

John

Thanks Burton,

Nice to hear from one of the groups most prolific of D coders.

Wish you continuing success on Dig.  I look forward to seeing it grow with D.  I know I'm looking forward to using it.

And hey, don't trash Python, at least it's a better language then BASIC and great for rapid prototyping work. ;-)

Later,
John

I'd just like to say what a continuing pleasure the Digital Mars newsgroup is, and what a stark contrast it is from most of the others I've come across in terms of tolerance, helpfulness, and plain good humoured human friendship.

It's the people who participate here who've made this forum what it is. All I can say is how pleased I am at the quality of the discussions here. D sure seems to attract the best of the programmers!

I understand :-)

OK, that either means I can finally stop dreaming of
my own editor, or that everyone needs to write his own,
eventually, no matter what... :)

(BTW, Multi-Edit was quite fine for the old days on
the PC. Now (that I bought it...) it's ugly like hell
and buggier than ever... It's agnoizing. The managers
now try to revive it by attracting old-time hackers
to free workshops to code stuff for it again. It gave
me some hope, but when they never replied to my mail
in this matter -- I lost it again, forever. Now the
new hope to me is in either Jon ;) or D + Lua...)

Has anyone tried NoteTabs seriously (on Windows)? Is
it programmable _fully_? I mean changing built-in
dialog boxes etc., as in Multi-Edit?)

Folding, full source, free etc.

Thanks Karl, I've just downloaded it and giving a try...

(Though seems somewhat hacky C++, perhaps it may be reused if I go _mad_ and decide to work on an editor myself.)

Cheers,
Sab

By the by, here's a syntax highlighting config file for SciTE/D:

What exactly is called "folding" here? (Please forgive
this to a foreigner... Would it be that collapsing of
text portions?)

BTW, that Scintia has some truly lovely features!

(I just wish it hadn't reimplemented a -- quite suboptimal -- custom caret instead of using that of the system.)

Dead link, Andy?

OK, Scintilla -- another thing to forgive... ;)
