Does anyone out there have source to a folding editor? Ideally I would like changes to jove or some other emacs like editor. Michael. -- ...utscri!trigraph!michael Michael Winser michael@trigraph.UUCP Trigraph Inc. 5 Lower Sherbourne St. #201 (416) 363-8841 Toronto,Ontario M5R 3H8

The idea is to encapsulate successive detail inside things called folds which are normally closed but you can go into them and examine the contents, edit and do other useful things. e.g. in TDS the fold area is indicated like this (sort of) {{{ a fold ... code etc }}} the ellipsis (...) indicates that this is a closed fold and you have code in there which is only used for a deeper understanding (implementation vs. application) As for the availability of folding editors there is one mentioned in the "occ" manual entry under UNIX but where is it????? VMS apparently runs TDS but I haven't been able to run it/find it. I have a mode for gnu-emacs which does folding using selective displays but that isn't much use here is it? jove and ue won't really be of much use as they aren't fully extensible like gnu and others. Could try writing one....:-) Tony
