I believe Slick has its IDE. We don't use much beyond its diff because
we're committed to a competitor.
I find Slick on Solaris way slow; marginally usable on a fast LAN; unusable
via VPN. I think it's X11 overhead; feels as if it paints the screen pixel-by-
pixel.
Yes, I remember you mentioning that before. IIRC, the same could be said
for the z/OS X11, which Slickedit dropped. It's way to easy to use SMB
or NFS and run Slickedit on Windows/Mac/Linux. I edited an 8 GB binary
file,
scrolled to the bottom. Turned hex mode on, made and edit and saved the
file in a matter of seconds. Try that in Eclipse and the lights will dim!
How do you get to its ISPF emulation? Some of my colleages would
treasure that.
Tools->Options->Keyboard and Mouse->Emulation->ISPF
To me "full ISPF emulation" means macros in Rexx. No? Which Rexx?
The scripting language is the proprietary SlickC which is a hybrid of
REXX, C and Smalltalk for the OO. It has a parse instruction and
implementes most of the REXX string handling functions. Slickedit has a
command line which is why I
love it so much. You can bind any keys to commands which gives you
serious productivity as opposed to the clunky mouse.
