I'm experimenting right now with "brand new" look and feel for TkS*LIDE I'd like to hear from SLIDE users if they find new icons better or worse... The...
... Sorry for answering late! Better for me, because I am itnerested in the effects on students -- and the new icons look more similar to the icons used by...
As for me, I'm still using an ancient (1985 executable!) copy of Digital Research EDIX as my main source editor. That's NOT because I wouldn't like to have...
Emacs. [Well... *somebody* had to say it.] I haven't tried to make a SNOBOL mode but I'm sure it could be done. It does fail one criterion, though... ... ...
The other editor I thought was going to be "it" was also something of a DIY kit... but it turns out that it's trickier than it looks to handle (for example) ...
Editors... The ones on my netbook RIGHT NOW - vim VI, with the "enhancements" you requested. Includes a "SNOBOL" mode. Not bad, a bit large. I do mostly UNIX...
I'm working on a binding for my SPITBOL Pattern Matching in C for Python, and I'm looking for folks who can offer opinions on some interface issues, and might...
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/spipat/0.9.3 It builds and runs on Linux, Mac OS X, and FreeBSD. I haven't tried it on Windows. The C library has never been...
... I managed to make a binary distribution of spipat for Windows using MINGW (a port of GCC to bare Win32), and Python 2.6 from python.org: The Python...
... [example code snipped] Wow, great work, Phil. I'm not the greatest Python fan (I must admit I liked the Monty Pythons Show ;-) ) -- using it only when I...
This truly IS good news... while I'm somewhat saddened to see Mark (who has been such a HUGE savior of both the SNOBOL and SPITBOL languages) turn them over to...
Robert, Mark, Phil et al: That's absolutely great news. Thank you all. Mark, does that include any (or, hopefully, all ?) of the platform specific stuff for...
Now I have not read the code yet. But I know what to expect to a degree. And I think that this is really great stuff with lotsa possibles. However! I would...
If I was not currently busy fixing peoples horrid computer problems, and selling them their consumer (computer) products, in order to finance the writing of...
Its good to see the green book there. I have a hard copy, but a lot will not going into the future. Spitbol-3.7,,,,,,My compliments to Robert and all others...
Actually, the package looks complete. Unfortunately, for SPARC only. The code generator itself is in SNOBOL, but it would be helpful to have the 386 version as...
Yes, this is good stuff. It will be interesting to see who does something with it. Who just wants to pick it over and be seen to be an expert on it. Who...
Greg, Robert's methodology for writing code, on which mine is patterned since I learned it from him, is to write the comments first, then write the code....
Thanks John, Roberts methodology is good. Better than mine. First I have firm vision. Then I write the code with pencil and paper. Then I type the code....
Oh, I disagree. I have major backend programs for my clients' systems already written in Macro SPITBOL. Why on earth would I want to use Python instead? Even...
Gordon, YES. And assembler is small and fast. The concept of an assembler VM (Minimal like) is a good one, in my opinion. But I guess, that the platform...
The efficiency advantages of assembler-like coding are several, including: 1) direct use of native data types 2) direct access to hardware addressing modes ...
