I have not bought DBpro yet so I am still running classic and just wanted to share with everyone else like me, information about a wonderful program called UltraEdit32, text editor.

http://www.ultraedit.com/

Please check out the huge list of features here:

http://www.ultraedit.com/index.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=10

This thing is great for DarkBASIC and will surely blow any other text editor out of the water. I read that DBpro runs windowed so maybe PRO users do not need this, but this editor is great for HTML, java, C++ and anything else so check it out.

Here is a screenshot of it in use on my desktop:

You should be able to use the text editor available on the TGC download page for Classic too. The reason i say this is because it has syntax highlighting and compile options from the editor.

Ultra edit is something I have used before, and it's not bad. I use it for multi-codepage environments - it's very easy to switch from one codepage to another.

You might want to try HTML-Kit as well (Google it). It's not just for HTML, there's hundreds of free plugins.

Nice XP theme you got applied there.

One thing: I *HATE* anything which has it all. It just doesn't feel right.

And your DBPad Rommie thingy needs a font-change and some snazzy syntax-hilighting (c'mon, how long was it since you last heard the word 'snazzy'? )

when i first started coding in DB was back in 1999 (late) and the DB editor bugged me cause it was a one-page deal, later they added two pages in the editor (so you could load a help example in page 2 and keep your prog. in page 1) but i still used notepad heavily. Problem was having 12 notepads in the taskbar then someone made a prog called "Dark Editor" and I don't remember who cause I don't have that anymore, but then a friend showed me UltraEdit and besides the syntax highlighting there's a column-mode which is very helpful.

I'll check those out BatVink, thanks UltraEdit also has an option to send your file to a windows program so with two clicks i can have my page loaded in DB for compiling.

Check this link, the page says it's only $35.oo right now! You are right though, I think I paid around $130.oo when I bought it but then I did the same thing with DB, paid $70 and no CD, no enhancements ...

Okay, i am getting back to work ...

For myself, I prefer MS-Word 6, but then all the pretty colors confuse me. Word does away with the cut'n'paste troubles and allows split screen and multiple pages, so it suits me. And of course, I like to program macros to do multiple things over and over, so it's my program of choice.

Any truly great code should be indisguishable from magic.
