[U2] Editors and environments we like to use--digression from talking about mvToolBox.
I know several older programmers who use ED exclusively. It's incredible how quickly they can jump into code and make complex changes with just a few keystrokes. In the course of the day I use ED, a few full-screen non-gui editors (jed/vi/maybe JET or SED sometimes) and some gui editors (WED, Cache Studo and sometimes Wordpad). Notably, the gui editors are mostly launched from an mv command line though On Feb 20, 2012, at 8:40 AM, Richard wrote: --- On Sat, 18/2/12, Symeon Breen syme...@gmail.com wrote: I seriously believe most MV people are not programming in ED on telnet (or ssh) and that they are using some form of GUI editor. With respect, I disagree. I work alongside dozens of UniVerse developers and I am in a very small minority who use a GUI based editor. The vast majority use our own custom editor, which runs on a ubiquitous 'green-screen' terminal emulator. Even those like myself who favour editing in a GUI still do all other tasks through command line. ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

Sure that's possible, but I can't recall ever needing to change a reference in every program which exists.
