Regarding foliding editors... There are quite a few programmable editors for the PC available which seem to be sufficiently flexible to implement the folding. Borlands Sprint, Lugaro's (I'm not sure about that spelling) Epsilon, and Brief from solution systems. The later actually sponsors a macro writing contest every year. Steven W.

Dear Transputerers, A lot of people have been asking about folding editors for PCs etc. On VMS if you are lucky enough to have the VAXSET tools including LSE the Language Sensitive Editor you can now fold any language. Fold information is by default taken from the indentation of the code. This can be overidden using adjustment statements. This editor does not even need to insert horrible control characters to define fold lines! Other features of the editor include the ability to extract comment information written in the code to produce documentaion although this only works with DEC compilers. This is the first editor I have found that is better than emacs. Anyone thinking of writting folding code for emacs, breif etc would be well advised to have a look at how it's done in LSE. **** Disclosure of interests **** - I am sponsored by DEC but flogging software isn't in my job description, just thought someone may find the information useful.
