I have a feeling this was done to allow initialisation of a whole structure which, in older C compilers, could only be done with static or global variables. I know I hit these limitations in the past. Is it just me? Am I getting that old? > Removing the static would be safe. I have no problem with that. -- NEdit Develop mailing list - [email protected] http://www.nedit.org/mailman/listinfo/develop
