I just ordered Lattice 5.04 from Creative Computers, and while I am waiting for it to arrive (it should be here Tuesday), I was wondering if someone could give me some insight on the editor, LSE. I am too hopeful to wish for a nice integrated editing/compiling enviroment a la every IBM Pascal or C package? Is it really a functional editor, or will it pale in comparison to TXED Plus (my current favorite). Also. What else does Lattice come with, I have heard that it contains the 'compiler companion'. But I am unsure what the means. Don't get me wrong, I put lots of consideration into which package to buy (Lattice/Manx) judged on the compilers, not the supporting programs. Any help would be appreciated. Any generic tips on the operation of the compiler itself would be nice too... (or CodePRobe).. Thanks... -- =============================================================================== Bryan O'Connor | ARPA: bdo8650@cec2.wustl.edu | ******************** Washington University | USENET: wucs1!cec2!bdo8650 | *UNDER CONSTRUCTION* Saint Louis, MO | | ********************

It also comes with some utilities like find, grep, "batch" and "extract" (giving you similar stuff but more powerful that list lformat), CXRef, diff, lmk (make), profiler, touch, wc, and "splat" (grep w/ replace). There are many libraries for math and such and there is the GREP library similar to but more powerful than the UNIX regexp library (take unix or ados style wildcards). CodeProbe is great. It also has a Rexx port, allowing things like "single step until I've created any file in temp:" and lots of wack-like stuff. BLink supports normal linking, creating resident programs, creating programs that automatically detatch from the CLI, creating programs that catch GURUs and write snapshots for later traceback-debugging (a la unix "core" files), and comibnations of these. It also supports fairly easy creation of shared libraries (which I have not tried, but it looks quite easy).

LSE is a nice editor overall. It is 100% customizable in all respects, (but without a language like Uedit) as far as keys go. It will allow for an integrated env like QuickC and so on ..
