Hi guys:
This isn't exactly on-topic, but...
I can recall someone a while back saying they *loved* QEdit, etc. Well,
I use QEdit almost exclusively with DOS 'cause it's fast, small, etc.
Always thought I couldn't get along without it. Well:
QEdit *STINKS*
I was building SPICE 2G6 and since the makefile was very old (the
docs claimed it was for GCC-1.3.9, the original DJGPP, er, DJGCC !!!) I
had to modify parts of it. But QEdit seems to like replacing tabs with
spaces...
Since Make desires that command lines begin with tabs, everything went
haywire when I saved the modified makefile and tried to rebuild. I
finally got it working by editing the makefile with DOS EDIT 8(
I really felt stupid digging through the Info files and stuff when it was
the *&^$%#@! editor which was screwing me...
BTW I got the f2c from the 1.12m4 distribution to rebuild with v2 without
much problems, except you need a "cat" program 'cause the make requires
it. I wrote a simple one using C then realized that you can duplicate the
`cat file1 file2 file3 >file4' using `copy file1+file2+file3 file4'
Oh well...
