 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

This is a test to see if I can get away with the one TKN file for both the normal MMEdit and the one for 'XP with problems'. Changes include I changed the syntax reference from VB to PowerBasic. This has improved the syntax colouring when a '#' is used. I don't think it has caused any grief elsewhere. I have changed the program flow around the VT Terminal area which seems to result in more reliable performance. Tested with uM and uM+ 4.7 beta31. There are a few optimizations which speed up the VT Terminal a bit. It is still slow and not a replacement for TeraTerm. I have not updated the website yet. I want a few reports first. Replace the TKN file in the program folder with the attached one. 2015-09-24_081546_MMedit365.zip Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Jim Not related but while you are looking at the BB..... In cfgen there is a bug that causes problems when you use the "new" button. There is some context being maintained that causes the program to fail to interpret the new file correctly. I don't know PureBasic, but is there some sort of command you can issue to re-initialise all variables following a "new". My work round is to stop and rerun the program. Other than that I have been using the program extensively and it works well - your GUI makes it very easy. |

Hi Jim - quick report. Replaced the TKN on my old XP/SP2 system, 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM and all is fine. My system loaded the original V3.6.4 OK anyway though (small RAM?) so perhaps not a decent test. BTW is it normal to have so many superfluous blank lines after END SUBs and END FUNCTIONs when you do a LIST? Greg |

@Peter Try this cfgen. I have cleared the array that holds the labels. It was the only thing that was a global variable so all the others should be OK. 2015-09-24_210727_cfgen.zip @Greg The only people who had to use the special version were those with XP and lots of ram. Some processes add extra lines to the end of the program and I am gradually sorting them out. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Jim I thought I had posted a "thank you" but must have had a brain f..t Anyway - thanks for the update to cfgen - this now works perfectly after a "new". Also, I can report that the performance improvement in the VT100 makes a big difference on my computer Thanks again Peter |

Thank you both for the comments. Once the spring gardening season is over, I will be doing serious work on the new version (Using Purebasic instead of Liberty Basic). This will give a huge speed improvement and allow more things such as a code verify tool. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

A small suggestion based on my experience with it: it would be great to have a checkbox in the settings "set autostart on after loading". The same could be applied to other options that require manual intervention as well. http://rittle.org -------------- |

@TassyJim IMHO this inclusion would be a very worthwhile thing to do IF it is easy to implement 
I know it is easy to type in OPTION AUTORUN ON, but the number of times I forget to do it after uploading a program is embarrassingly high. So this feature definitely has my vote. WW |

I could allow for a macro or two to be run. One before loading and one after. That way the user has more control over what they can achieve. It may not happen in the next update. My new suspension for the MG is arriving sooner than I expected so I have a few busy days in the shed wielding bigger hammers than I usual use on the micromites. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Hi Jim, In find/replace would it be possible to have the option to 'replace all'. I recently had to copy and paste a long list of data into a file and wanted to replace all the spaces with commas. I managed to do it in Microsoft Word but it would be a lot easier if this option was available. Paul.

I have always found 'replace all' a risky exercise. I have thought about it and will probably add it eventually. I use a text editor such as metapad or notepad++ rather than Word for that sort of thing. Word has a habit of changing quotes to 'smart quotes' and that creates more work. Jim VK7JH MMedit |
