Not the best of starts! I failed to up-load  medos_99.zip, thanks for spotting
that, I will try to  up-load  this  tonight.

I've not had any  problems  with  mehpux10_99.gz,  is it  possible  that  your
browser has  automatically  gunzip'd it?? My netscape  annoyingly has, what is
more  annoying  is that I don't  appear  to be able to  switch  this  unwanted
'feature'  off (why does  everyone  think  that  copying  MicroSoft  is a good
idea??). Try using the file command to find out what its done to it, i.e.

     file mehpux10_99.gz

I've up-loaded the dos version and I think the sunos problem is fixed.

I spoke to my ISP they are running a UNIX server. I have a nagging feeling
that this is a Netscape problem, maybe confined to V4.7, possibly
running from an NT platform, but I cannot confirm this. A download
from a UNIX box should be OK. Dare I say it, but a download with IE4/5
should also be OK (Aghhhhh).

Your analysis is correct, all of the \n => \r\n making the file larger
so an ASCII download is occuring and the file appears to be corrupted
on the gunzip (well it is corrupted by MS pollution !!).

Two things that I was going to do, but have not got round to are:-

         a) See if I can register .gz as a binary file in Netscape.
         b) Look at the Netscape home site to see if anybody else
            has reported this with a solution.

If anybody else who has had problems can say what browser and
O/S they are using we might start to see a pattern. I've already
seen problems with:-

         Netscape V4.7; NT 4.0 (Service Patch 5)

Just to let people know as an FYI, there are some helper utilities that I find
helpful, I successfully grabbed and installed the latest ME files.  Probably,
everything's been fixed up by now and anybody can do it :-)

I used 'GetRight' to download stuff from the Geocities page to NT4.  (It lurks
and is activated by Netscape when it tries to download something.)  Didn't do
anything special, just clicked on the files, and away it went.

I used 'CuteFTP' to move the Unix binary and macros to the Solaris box here. 
Again, nothing special going on.  I did tell it that .emf files are text for
when I do updates (but did not use that this time around -- I uploaded the
entire .tar.gz collection as such).

Everything was readable (pkunzip, gunzip, tar) and runs.  (I've only been using
it for five minutes, but after I plopped my thundt.emf and .erf and my*.emf into
the macros directory, it all runs just like before.)

All right!!!  A help index!!!  Woo-hoo!!!  :-)

This is a major plus.

Things to add: I would expect PgUp/PgDn to scroll the text within the tabs.  (We
can already move the box using Alt-arrows; how about making PgUp/PgDn
available?)  Also there is no scrollbar, so it cannot be scrolled using the
mouse.  (Or have I got something configured wrongly?)

Hello,

the Makefile-file for the Cygwin-environment under Win9x is not the right one,
it is a Linux-Cygwin-file mixture.

Any correct cygwin.gmx here available ?

Has anybody build the URL-Version and the Console version for ME99. My MSVC6.0
on NT was starting with the generation of  the object-files but not founding the
the RC-Command (no rc.exe in the bin there). What is missing in this
installation of the MSVC6.0 ?

Best regards,

Detlef

The new release Sun Solaris x86 makefile sunosx86.mak
is incorrect and does not build correctly. This is because
the file is a Microsoft windows file and has CRLF end of
line markers.

Correct by running dos2unix on the file and then
build as normal.

I moved the rc.exe with its dll in the path and it was working.
I could  build all versions. However the URL-version seems to have some problems
with links like <a href= " index.html " ... containing spaces.

I was further surprized that the mec32.exe (Console) was loading also with
menus. I could not observe a different behavior to the me32.exe. Should I did
something wrong ?

> Has anybody the correct cygwin.gmk ?

The cygwin make file is for version  20.1, it does  compile okay on my system,
however it does not work. For some  reason ME does not  receive  any key board
input  and it must be  kill.  So  officially  we be not  support  cygwin  as a
building  platform, I included the makefile  just to give anyone who did fancy
getting it going a head  start. I will  correct  the header  comment  which is
clearly wrong.

Is "  index.html  "  legal??  Are  spaces  at  the  start  and  end  of a href
automatically stripped??

There should be no difference unless you use the -n command-line option, i.e.

     mec32 -n

Nope - you will be making history here if you get it working !!
I think this was Steves 1st attempt at a makefile, but no time
to debug it:-(

Run with the -n option, you will then get a console version. This is in keeping
with the X-Windows version which runs using either an X-Window or Termcap.
The mec32.exe executes as both a regular window and a Console window.
You may rename the executable to me32.exe and use either way

This does not surprise me - I do not think that this conforms to the standard
HTML conventions does it ?? The quotes contain the reference and the file name
probably does not have any spaces in it.

Note that I am not advocating that the macro processing conforms to any
standards
either, but it should process basic tag references !! Bear in mind that
it is not supposed to be a replacement for Netscape on any but the simplest
of levels.

I've just got the latest binaries of Jasspa - I am VERY pleased with
it.  On my Win95 system it will quickly replace my other editors.One
problem though (as yet) - when I go into user setup and set the "Setup
Path" to a user directory I created (f:\username) and then save the
profile (with username as the default user).  When I go back into user
setup, the "Setup Path" has reverted back to e:\me (where I installed
Jasspa).  If I make any changes to the setup and sae without changing
the path again, the process creates an empty username.emf file in e:\me.

Just a minor frustration - what am I doing wrong??
Thanks in advance - and apologies if this has already been asked - I've
just joined the list and I can't seem to find any archives.

Steve,
I have MEPATH set in my autoexec.bat, and MENAME is set in default.emf. 
However,
whenever I open user setup, the setup path is always reset to e:\me and the file
dedwards.erf in e:\me is the one that gets updated every time.
A puzzler!!
Thanks

Dave,

Assuming  your  MEPATH is set to  f:\username;e:\me  me32 will  search for the
first  occurrence of $MENAME.erf  (the setup registry file). If that file does
not exist in  f:\username  then it will look in e:\me, if it does exist  there
then Setup Path  will  be set to  this  (in  fact it will be set to  e:\me  if
$MENAME.erf is not found at all).

To fix this simply move the  $MENAME.*  files from e:\me to  f:\username,  now
me32  should  find the correct one in the correct  place and set Setup Path to
f:\username.

If this  does not fix the  problem  then can you  please  send me your  MEPATH
setting and the contents of  default.emf  so that I can try and  reproduce the
problem. Can you also send me your variable settings (use the main menu's Help
-> List  Variable) and probably  best just filling my mail box rather than the
whole egroup.

Steve

Use of Cygwin for compiling ME requires reading Info-files.

I was partially sucessful colorizing links and hilighting key words.

In the me.emf I added the file-hook for info-files:

-2 add-file-hook "File: "                         fhook-info   ; Info-files

When the first two-lines is the Expression: `File: " Me loades fhook-info.

hkinfo.emf looks:

!if &band .hilight.flags 0x02
     !if ¬ &exist .hilight.info
         set-variable .hilight.info  &pinc .hilight.next 1
     !endif
     0 hilight .hilight.info  0                            $global-scheme
     hilight .hilight.info   2  "^File: "                   .scheme.link
     hilight .hilight.info 2   "^*"                        .scheme.header
     hilight .hilight.info 2   "^="                       .scheme.header
     hilight .hilight.info 0x22 "^* "                      .scheme.link
     hilight .hilight.info 0x44 "`" "" "'"    "" ""         .scheme.bold
     hilight .hilight.info 0x44 "^* " "* " "::"    "::" ""   .scheme.link
!endif

define-macro fhook-info
     !if &band .hilight.flags 0x02
         set-variable $buffer-hilight .hilight.info
     !endif
     1 buffer-mode "time"
     1 buffer-mode "indent"
     buffer-abbrev-file "info"
     ; execute user extensions if enabled
     !if &exist my-fhook-info
         my-fhook-info
     !endif
!emacro

ml-write "[info file hook loaded]"

; load in user extensions if found
!force execute-file "myinfo"

Sometimes it is working, sometimes not. It is depending on the different
variables for the buffer-hilighting which ME provides to the individuell
buffers.

I suppose the empty macro in the info.emf-file

0 define-macro fhook-info
!emacro
makes the problem..

Also modifying info.emf to:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
!if &seq .osd.info-help "ERROR"
     set-variable .osd.info-help &pinc .osd.next 1
!endif
!if &seq .hilight.info "ERROR"
     set-variable .hilight.info &pinc .hilight.next 1
!endif
     0 hilight .hilight.info  0                            $global-scheme
     hilight .hilight.info   1  "^File: "                   .scheme.link
     hilight .hilight.info 2   "^*"                        .scheme.header
     hilight .hilight.info 2   "^="                       .scheme.header
     hilight .hilight.info 0x22 "^* "                      .scheme.link
     hilight .hilight.info 0x44 "`" "" "'"    "" ""         .scheme.bold
     hilight .hilight.info 0x44 "^* " "* " "::"    "::" ""   .scheme.link

     0 define-macro fhook-info
          !if ¬ @#
             etfinsrt "info"
          !endif
     set-variable $buffer-hilight .hilight.info
     ; execute user extensions if enabled
     !if &exist my-fhook-info
         my-fhook-info
     !endif
!emacro
....

does not work.

Any solution to this ?

Best regards,

Detlef

Detlef,

     You are right - this needs to be done.

     The trick  here is that we do not need to use a hook file  because
     the  info  macros  (in  info.emf)   generate   their  own  buffers
     internally.  Hence we force the  hilighting  to be applied when we
     create  the  buffer  for the info.  Therefore  the  hilighting  is
     defined and used within this file only.

     I  picked  up on what  you were  trying  to  hilight,  the  'bold'
     encoding is probably  best done with the  look-back  enabled. I've
     kept this short (10 lines), which seems to be more than reasonable
     - arguably it is too generous !!

     I was not quite sure what the "^=" is, I have not come across any
     of these - so no support for that in here :-(

     The changes  that I have made to the  "info.emf"  are below - this
     seems to work OK.

     NOTE: The changes are for the *LATEST* Novemeber '99 release only,
           because they use the new hilighting scheme variables. If you
           are using a previous  release then the hilighting  will have
           to be changed accordingly.

Regards
Jon

By the way Steven has given me an other useful tip some months ago, which seems
to be for me the best.

Create something like the following batch-files:

REM me32a.bat
set MENAME=user1
set MEPATH=C:/jemacs99/user;C:/jemacs99/macros;C:/Me/Mehelp
c:\windows\command\start /max C:\jemacs99\me32.exe -c %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6

-----
REM me32b.bat
set MENAME=user2
set MEPATH=C:/jemacs99/user;C:/jemacs99/macros;C:/Me/Mehelp
c:\windows\command\start /max C:\jemacs99\me32.exe -c %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6

---
and so on. Best is for each project on which you are working a separate file.

Remove the Me32.ini from the Windows-directory, remove the Me-statements from
the autoexec.bat.

Just run the Me-batch-files adjust user setup to your Mename. If you want to
share the same macros in both profiles write at the beginning of user2.emf the
command
execute-file "user1.emf"
you will have in each profile the same macros but a different session. Be aware
that you use the same user-directory !

I never get different profiles with the Me32.ini or the autoexec.bat working.
May be using a special command line would be useful for avoiding use of
bat-files
like me32.exe -usera -c ...

for invoking ME32 without history try a separare profile:

REM me32.bat
set MENAME=userx
set MEPATH=C:/jemacs99/user;C:/jemacs99/macros;C:/Me/Mehelp
c:\windows\command\start /max C:\jemacs99\me32.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6
REM -c is removed >> no history for userx

---

for invoking ME to work with the DJGPP-tools I use the following:

REM medjgpp.bat
set MENAME=djgpp
set MEPATH=C:/jemacs99/dgroth;C:/jemacs99/macros;C:/Me/Mehelp
set INFOPATH=C:/djgpp/info
REM this sets the infopath from c:/info  to the djgpp-directory
c:\windows\command\start /max C:\jemacs99\me32.exe -c %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6

move this file into your path and you can load each file always with me32
myfile.txt

Jon,

My problem was in the beginning that the info-files does not start with the
`File:' but with the `This is info file'... statement. I was a victim of this
narrowing ME-features which are difficult to understand but great to use.

I was adding some filehooks (see below) to allow also syntax-hilighting for
info-files currently not in info-mode. The hilighting is now really great and
should be work sufficently well. It is a pleasure to read info-files. You can
even use bookmarks...

There is only one problem still with not working links if they contain regular
expressions like:
`* What is Bash?::  A short description of Bash.'
To find this info I have to set-a bookmark, jump to any link then jump-to-the
bookmark just unnarrowing the buffer and searching for the regexpression string.
Or alternativly change the node and the link names to something
nonregexpressiones like `C++' to `Cpp'. May be this can be also used in a more
convinient way.

It follows your and my changes in my info.emf file.

Detlef,

	 Sorry, I understand what you are doing now - I did
	 something else !!

	 If you also add the following:-

; Hide the special characters.
hilight .hilight.info 64 "\x7f" " --> "                .scheme.link
hilight .hilight.info 64 "\x1f" "--- Page Break ---"   .scheme.bold

	 Then you can make the special characters a little
	 more palatable. Change the text replacement to suite
	 your requirements.

Regards
Jon.

The following diff log should fix the above problem, I say should because I've
not tested this (don't know where "What is Bash?" is). The line numbers may be
different depending on the version of your info.emf.

I have a shortcut on my WIN95 desktop pointing to jasspa.  When I
double-click on it with my mouse, I get clicking and highlighting on the
screen when I move my mouse.  As soon as I do a left button click on the
main screen, everything is allright.
Now, if I single click on the shortcut icon, and then hit <enter. to
execute, I do not get this behaviour.
Does anyone have a notion on what may be the problem here??
thanks in advance
Dave E.

Hello,

I implementend all the features from Steven and Jon, also the link
`* What is Bash?::  A short description of Bash.' is now properly working.
The best info-browser I have ever seen is ready.

The whoole new info.emf file can be found below:

http://www.fortunecity.de/wolkenkratzer/zins/597/info.emf

By the way the new me.chm (Win9x, Sorry..) file can be found at:

http://www.fortunecity.de/wolkenkratzer/zins/597/me99.chm

a java-applet-based version at:
http://www.fortunecity.de/wolkenkratzer/zins/597/Mejava.htm

these applets for downloading:
http://www.fortunecity.de/wolkenkratzer/zins/597/mejava.zip

Both version contain a nice toc, index the me.chm also a fulltext-search and a
favourites menu.

Further the ME-docu in htm-Format is available online at:

http://www.fortunecity.de/wolkenkratzer/zins/597/me.htm

Any errors, suggestions mail to me

best regards,
  Detlef

Thanks Detlef,

	 Just picked these up and they work a treat. Very nice.
	 I had a bit of a problem with the hooks, removing a
	 space after the "dir" seemed to sort things out - though
	 I'm not quite sure why at the moment ?? So my hook
	 definitions are as follows:-

;To hilight the .info and also the dir file
add-file-hook ".info dir"                                   fhook-info   ;
Info-files
;To hilight all info files without the extension .info
;but starting with the text "This is info file..
-2 add-file-hook "This is Info file"                        fhook-info

	 Thanks for the .chm file - very nice. I see that
	 we have a bit of a problem with the html files
	 in the faq - I need to investigate this one.

Regards
Jon

I've never seen this before.

Have you got any other S/W running in the system that is likely to
mess with the mouse. i.e. some virtual mouse S/W ?? If so then
disable this and see what it does.

Are you running on a very slow or very fast machine, or is there
anything else special about your system ??

I assume that this is a standard installation and your <user>.emf
is not doing anything special ??

Jon.

Jon,
I have an Asus TXP4 mainboard: Cyrix MM PR200 CPU; 64 meg; ISA sound;
PCI Video.  My <user>.emf file has some key bindings and sets a couple
of variables.
	 set-variable $mode-line     "%s%r%u%k %b %l/%c -  %Y/%M/%D (%e) - (%f)
"
	 set-variable $fill-mode "left"
	 set-variable $fill-col 75
	 global-bind-key beginning-of-line       "home"
	 global-bind-key end-of-line             "end"
	 global-bind-key beginning-of-buffer     "C-home"
	 global-bind-key end-of-buffer           "C-end"
	 global-bind-key undo                    "f4"

As I previously mentioned, I only get problems if I double-click on the
shortcut.  If I single-click and then hit <ENTER>, I do not have the
problem??

I see that jasspa has limited fold capabilities.  Is there an outline
mode available, or how do I set up folding to operate this way in text
files.
Thanks in advance.
