Zeus will definitely require the user take some time to learn use it.

With regard to the class browsing feature, Zeus uses the ctags utility as it source of program information.

Quite some time ago I made changes to ctags to support the D languages and posted my code changes here:

  http://www.zeusedit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=613

Since then I come across another patch for ctags which appears to be based on my original changes, which claims to offer better support for the D language:

  http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?ReferenceForTools/ExuberantCtags

But when I tried to apply the patch to the ctags 5.6 code base using this GNU Patch Version 2.5.9 it failed :(

If anyone has managed to apply this patch, could you please let me know which patch utility and version of ctags source code you used, as I am keen to see if Zeus will work correctly with this improved version of the ctags.exe utility.

I managed to answer my own question :)

For anyone else who might be interested, if you use this version of the exuberant ctags source code:

    ec56w32.zip

and run this GNU Patch Version 2.5.9 command line:

   PATCH < ctags-5.6-d.patch.txt

it will correctly patch the c.c and parsers.h files.

It failed for me the first time because I was stupidly trying to apply the patch to the 5.5 version of the ctags source code.

To use the new ctags with Zeus just rename the file to xtags.exe and put the executable in the Zeus install directory.
