[comp.sys.amiga.programmer] DME on UNIX

gilgalad@caen.engin.umich.edu (Ralph Seguin) (03/01/91)

Hi.  I'm interested in porting DME to UNIX.  It was my editor of choice on
the Amiga, and I'd like to make it so on UNIX.  Is anybody else interested
in such an endeavor?  Matt?  Have you ever tried this?  Any comments as to
feasibility/ease of port?  I'd like to make the port as generic as possible.

			Thanks, Ralph

Same Here!  Make that thing "X"-able (?!) under 3.0 and above!  Pls?

    I don't have a UNIX machine and so porting it might be difficult. The
    only reasonable way to port it would be to create a compatibility
    library of those graphics/intuition calls DME makes.

Hi.  Actually, I think that X should not be used.  I would like to be able to
run it on ANY sort of platform.  Although, running inside an xterm would be
fine.

Hmmm.. I was thinking of no graphics at all.  That way you could run it on a
junky old terminal :)  Although X does have its advantages :)

    You guys don't ask for much, do you?    !?!

*BUT* then you'd loose the ability to iconify *.c while you were working...

    That bug was in older Lattice and Manx compilers and has been gone
    ever since I began using DICE to compile DME.

well, maybe I'm just being naive, but it seems to me that if you have it
running
under Intuiition, it would be a relatively short step to X.  I'd hate to loose 
the "iconificaiton" and multi-window capabilities of dme....
