Too right!!! A flexible folding editor would be a godsend for all of us. Especially if it could be used in conjunction with conventional compilers, source-control systems etc. But, no joy. There was a set of macros for microEMACS knocking around about a year ago, but they weren't much cop. A set of real macros for grownUpEMACS was promised, but what happened to them? (I think it was the some at INMOS who were supposed to be working on them, but I can't remember.) I found a folding editor for the PC on the Lancaster PD software server, but I didn't like it much -- too complicated to use, and it needed a separate file to keep the folding information in. Finally, one of the INMOS reps at the stand at the PC user show at Olympia in '88 recommended the use of an 'outliner' package. Again, not easily used with compilers, etc. So ... where do we go? What I would like (but my C isn't up to it) would be TDS - style folding built in to microEMACS (not just macros). Anyone out there prepared to take up the challenge? Andy

Gnu-Emacs' outline mode is as close to the TDS' folding editor as any free software I've seen. If you hack on it for a while you will easily be able to duplicate all of the TDS' functions. :James

We have a folding editor with our Meiko system called VOPS. Runs on a VAX and is compatible with OPS/TDS. ******************************************************************************* * Mike Yearworth * (janet) my@uk.ac.soton.phastr * * High Energy Astrophysics Group * (span) 19460::my * * Physics Department * (phone) (0703) 592079 * * Southampton University * (fax) (0703) 585813 * * Southampton SO9 5NH.

Folding Editor A german company named PUNCTUM, seen at the DOIT - Meeting in Munich, is selling a PC-based folding editor. The editor can be used to edit TDS-files without the need of a transputer !

I have seen and used the TDS folding editor a bit and I quite like the idea of putting blocks of code/functions/subroutines away in folds so that I don't have to wade through them every time I want to take a look at my programs. So does anybody out there know of a version of the folding editor that will work on ASCII files rather than the odd format that the one supplied by Meiko/Sension/Inmos does ? I heard that there was one for the PC that you could user-define the start/end of fold markers for, anything similar for UNIX ?

I posted a version of my folding editor (FOLDED) to the net over a year ago, so it is probably still bouncing around the archive servers. I have a slightly newer version that I should probably post soon that supports the IBM PC (Turbo C), the Atari ST (MWC), and a variety of Unix flavors. I haven't had to make any code changes to it for a year now, so it is pretty stable. It will work on any type of text file and also supports multi-file relations, simple to understand multi-buffer operations, etc. Let me know if you have trouble getting hold of the posted version. I just finished porting my HDSCAN package to the PC, so will probably find time to re-post folded to comp.sources.misc in the coming months. -Todd Burkey pwcs!stag!trb
