I've been playing with the Hugs 1.4 971118 beta, under Windows NT.
Excellent stuff! We're planning to use it next year for teaching...
Two minor things that I've noticed:
1. the GUI set options requestor does not allow you to enter
long paths for the editor. (About 40 chars max).
I guess that a workaround for this might be to use the
command line `:set', but I've haven't tested that yet.
[BTW: It would be great if the installation/readme files
gave some hints about easily-available editors that
support the line-positioning facility.]
2. The winhugs version cannot find its help file.
It seems to be looking only in the directory that you are
in when you start winhugs (by clicking on a .hs file).
It works okay if you manually browse to find it, but you
have to redo this each time you ask for help.
In case this is just due to the way I installed Hugs, I'd better
describe what I did:
I used the *.zip version and just extracted the archive into
a directory and started using it (after setting up a suitable
shortcut in my Start menus). I couldn't find any other Windows
95/NT specific installation instructions, except for some notes
on using RegEdit to customize the :set settings.
Thanks!
Mark.
