Eclipse is nice, but I find it a bit heavyweight and possibly more than a person would need for BASIC. Great for Java apps though. I use jEdit for lightweight BASIC editing.
All that being said, there's still some value in having a good editor available inside the environment. Considering that I'm often working hundreds or thousands of miles away from the machine, getting the code to the U2 directory can be more hassle than it's worth. If the S/A is paranoid and won't open up ftp access, and there are no other good transfer tools available, it's easier to open up AE and make a couple of minor changes (keeping the local code in sync, of course) than it is to work within the walls and protections baked into the customer's box. -Kevin [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.PrecisOnline.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Donald Kibbey Sent: Saturday, September 18, 2004 5:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [U2] Comparison Unidata and Universe As for editors, I have long used a pc based editor (CodeWright) with the UniVerse source I manage. No need to play around with the line editor. Most any full screen editor can be linked up to UniVerse as long as your source code is kept in type 19 files. If you want a great free solution, download the Eclipse platform from ibm. It's not full integrated as far as debugging and such, but there's a pretty good editor in there and Eclipse will run just about anywhere.
