yes, it is actually 'below any language' because it has to support execution indepentently of the source language and as such doesnt affect rs274ngc at the source level in any way > change feature, since these tool changes can be done manually with the > current software.

I imagine the touch off tool change to no, much simpler. current line feedback in the UI's doesnt work well in presence of oword subs in separate files, which derives from the single-file assumption in the current line number implementation - basically an int is too imprecise to denote a source location uniquely (it did at some point in the past) for the same reason RFL is a bit hampered MDI line numbers come into play only because its a bit unclear how the current implementation came about (negative line number imply MDI mode, which is a kind of source context), and it is unclear to me why they are increased with every MDI command which has some other side effects > have only one subfile open at a time, but time may tell. > > The term "line number" can get a bit confusing.

A user-visible fallout might be more precise source location hints in error messages. -Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
