I recently got the sources, including make files for Stevie off the net. However, I am having the devil's own time getting it compile on my PC. Looking at the Make files it has, it looks as though the sucker was supposed to be compiled via Microsoft C, which I don't have. I have Turbo C, any suggestions about how to user it?

Good guess. >I have Turbo C, any suggestions about how to user it? I ported it to Turbo C. Only took about an hour. Runs fine. I'll be glad to send (or post, if enough interest), but try porting it yourself first. It may take less time to port it yourself, because I'm only going to be sending the changes. The port isn't hard; most of it is rewriting the makefiles.

All that I had to do (I think) was use the UN*X makefile with the "make" command that came with turbo-c 2.0. This involved merely renaming it to MAKEFILE. I had to edit the makefile and change "cc" to "tcc -O", but that was just about everything. Oh yeah, the readme file also said to edit one of the .h files and change the appropriate #DEFINE from UNIX to MSDOS or something. Took maybe 5 minutes total (including the compile). Cheers, -Mark

The makefile just wouldn't work and the compiler complained of a fatal internal error and told me to call Microsoft. I don't have turbo C, but I would suggest simply re-writting the makefile (Yuck!)...maybe all you need to do is to change the call to the compiler to tcc. I don't pretend to understand makefiles - which is why I may be having problems. Anybody else havbe trouble with MSC on this one? -- Brett G.

In order to build it on MSDOS with MSC 5.1 you need to have a real make program, not the half-baked, brain-damaged make which comes with the Microsoft C compiler. You can try abmake which was distributed on c.b.i.p a couple of months ago. That is what I used to build stevie yesterday. The make which microsoft provides is better than a batch file for building, but only does half the job that make is supposed to do -- it does not construct a dependency tree for all the objects which go into making a target, but rather it merely examines each target in the sequence they are specified in the file, making sure each is up to date with respect to its dependencies. Normal Unix makefiles tend to list the main target first with all the pieces which comprise them going down the file in some (usually unimportant) sequence. Microsoft make wants things the other way around, with the low-level dependencies at the top and the final target at the bottom, so it can traverse the list in ascending order of importance (since it does not know how to construct that ordered list itself!). Like I said, brain-damaged. The other thing you gotta do is to edit env.h and make sure that DOS is defined, and that Unix, etc., are NOT defined. Also, down at the very end of the file make sure to comment out the #define TERMCAP statement--otherwise it will compile just fine and the linker will give you a whole bunch of undefined symbols. After figuring out these things I built it with the makefile provided, with no changes and it went fine. After testing it I changed the CFLAGS variable to be $(MODEL) -G2 -Ox (for 286 code and full optimization) and that also builds and runs fine. By the way, I build it with MSC5.1 on an XT clone using DTK/ERSO Bios 2.40, a NEC V20 chip, and PC-DOS 3.30. Fred Smith

To all: I originally asked this question in comp.editors but I've had so many netmail questions I'd like to repeat it here. I downloaded Stevie, the vi clone,and am using it happily on my Dos machine (downloaded from Simtel, BTW). The question is does anyone know if this program is being developed and debugged further? The time-stamps on the file date 4/90. If anyone knows of later versions or news on the project several of us Stevie users would like to know. Thanks, Larry Stern -- Larry Stern LDSTERN@RODAN.ACS.SYR.EDU

I have installed some modifications that allow Stevie to be used as a BBS editor without compromising system security, and also fixed a nasty bug in the paragraph search routine. Diffs and a DOS exe were posted to alt.bbs.waffle last week. I suppose if there were sufficient interest, I could make the diffs and/or the DOS exe available somewhere besides alt. -- Roy M.

How big is it? I compiled it under TC++ and got a 200+K executable!
