Well, one whose graphics area is memory backed so that a resize event reveals more of it, would be a start.

Can't see anything that looks like a Unicon generated file in cygwin's /tmp or in Windows %TEMP%, I've been using both as interfaces. > ugh! Leaving them around may actually be useful. It might be useful to rotate the log files (per user? probably a pain in Windows) so if someone never finds them they don't clog up the disk, but they persist long enough to be analysed, if one knows where to look. > > In short: Windows Unicon needs some maintenance, and I need some help. > I might manage to work on this sometime during the summer, but I wouldn't > count on it happening without some external impetus or help coming along. > Your e-mail is some external impetus...

I do want to be sure I working with Unicon and not Icon for this project. I don't think I put Icon on this machine, so I hope I'll only get the tools called icon that came with Unicon. > default for the IDE, because it pops up a new console when you run a > program, whether > it uses stdio or not. I have some partly working Unicon files for Vim, the syntax file taken from that for Icon, and then modified (though I broke string highlighting when I did that). I've mentioned this on vim_dev, to a resounding silence. http://groups.google.com/group/vim_dev/browse_thread/thread/97817a45b882ce27 When I've swatted a few more bugs in them I'll pass the files along. > > Thanks, > Clint > Thank you Hugh ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
