Bingo.  Blocks of code, in this context.

arg.  The domain seems to be messed up.  Hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

In the meantime, http://65.121.9.11/~tsb/andy/d/dscite.zip should work.

I downloaded the beta, and to my pleasure, I found in
the code that it has the (yet undocumented)

    -loadsession:sessionfile

command-line switch! Great! Well, it crashes, though... :) But here's a fix:

---------------------------------------------------
The problem is that Close is not prepared to have zero
buffers (which is the case at startup).

He's got a better marketing department <g>.

For one, it's on it's own server; and for two, most of the people here seem to supply their real names.  That in itself is unusual for a newsgroup.  So my conclusion was that we have a lot of sincere, earnest individuals here that want to make something of D.  I figured these same people might not mind revealing their background which might prove interesting and useful to the list.

I tried a couple times to get Google to index this newsgroup, and failed. I don't try anymore, because I think it is a *good* thing that Google doesn't index it. You're right about the high quality of this newsgroup and the posters here, and if it was googled, that may be lost.

Oh, I think every real programmer takes a crack at writing their own editor at some point. Sort of a rite of passage <g>. I also think that writing an editor is a great way to learn programming skills.
