sure. but it's not the current developers that are at issue -- they're almost by definition happy with the tools at hand. (did i really just say that? where's my 3D data structure visualizer when i need it??) it's the ability of kids to explore and learn about programming that we're talking about. never having used eclipse, i can't say its suitable. but it has to be more discoverable than vi, id-utils, and gdb. paul =--------------------- paul fox, p...@laptop.org _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
