I wanted to rebuild my applications by just hitting a function key in
dme (version 1.29). So I mapped f3 to (execute (make >ram:result)), but
it doesn't work: dme gurus somewhere along the way, or just sits there
dead once the compiler and linker are done. BTW the compiler,assembler,linker
and make are all Aztec 3.4b versions.
So what gives? Is it possible for these tools to work together?
While I'm at it I'll air my latest "feature" craving for dme:
When DME iconifies a window, I'd like to have the "icon"
be visibly different (different color?) when a file has been
modified, but not saved yet!
And also the last bug I've found: The modify flag (m) is only updated
once you move the cursor. So you canmodify your file, hit your nifty
save-only-when-modified-and-then-exit command, and dme will exit
without saving your mods (annoying!).

The bug is in the IF and QUIT commands. The feature allows you to fix a line you accidently typed something in while the file is still unmodified, and have it still say it's unmodified when you finally cursor off the (fixed) line. It would be trivial for me to add a 'line restore' to take even further advantage of this, I suppose. -Matt

But not if it's RunBack-ed. I'm in the process of doing up a replacement for RunBack that should solve that problem. Anyway, what I do is create a command file and Execute "NewCLI CON:whatever FROM file". -- -- a clone of Peter (have you hugged your wolf today) da Silva `-_-' -- normally ...!hoptoad!academ!uhnix1!sugar!peter U -- Disclaimer: These aren't mere opinions... these are *values*.
