Thanks to David L. Dennis, I now have a MapBasic 6.0 language definition file for UltraEdit and he's willing to share it. This works as is for 5.5 too, with maybe a few extras you can snip off if you like. Anyone who wants a copy just ask. I also have a list of all keywords, functions, etc. for MapBasic 6.5 from Bill Wemple that could be turned into an UltraEdit format pretty easily. That's available too. Just ask, and I'll e-mail it to you. A new twist came up on that compile technique I mentioned yesterday. Apparently on fast machines, or with a slow compile, or O/S > Win95, the MB compiler can't get the job done before the next line on the batch file kicks in and types the *.err file to the Output window in UE. If there are errors, they aren't reported until the compiler's done, but by that time the batch file is way ahead of it. Here's one example where multi-threading isn't helping. So... until I can figure out a way to delay execution of certain lines in batch files, it's back to making 4 separate UltraEDit user tools for compile, display errors, link, and run. Gotta go dig in the Old Book of DOS to re-learn batch file commands... What I'd really like to see is a proper makefile to build a whole project and display errors as encountered, but the road to programmers' nirvana is a long one... one step at a time! - Bill Thoen ------------------------------------------------------------ GISnet, 1401 Walnut St., Suite C, Boulder, CO 80302 tel: 303-786-9961, fax: 303-443-4856 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ctmap.com/gisnet ------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________________________________ List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MapInfo-L" in the message body.
