That reminds me, one very useful thing for people working with various
pBricks simultaneously (like myself), would be the use of configuration
(ASCII) file support, so it could remember settings by pBrick (or by any
other reason).
Then, I could use something like: RcxCC.EXE RCX2.CFG and/or RcxCC.EXE
Cybermaster.CFG and it would try to use those settings (COM port, windows
state, size and position, user source code directory, etc...)

...and yes, I find your planned "Syntax highlighting" alterations you
mention very useful (and getting a working version of the Undo/Redo
feature).

If Tamotsu Kamigaki could release his source code, then you (or someone)
could add the USB IR support to RcxCC (becoming a sort of a Mark
Overmars/Tamotsu Kamigaki/John Hansen joint RcxCC Version) becoming ready
for RIS 2.0 release. (Not critical for me, 'cause I use a RIS 1.0 + RCX2
firmware)

That's a very good idea, JOIN FORCES (1+1>2) , divide the work and release your source codes, and make RCXcc alomost as popular as LINUX.
Maybe sometimes in the future, when I've more time available,  I'll join you.



I only wished NQC 2.2x still listed the "Variable name = number" head list,
in the window the shows the source code produced by NQC (can't remember the
name of that window, sorry).
But that's one question I have to ask to Dave Baum.

I've enabled picking your own color/style scheme for the • syntax highlighting
but I won't have that revised zip up until later this evening.

Looking into the way syntax highlighting is performed in
RcxCC revealed a
few "features" that I find undesirable.  In my experience,
the Undo doesn't
really work right.  It also appears to be counting the change of
highlighting as a modification.  Try opening a file, turn off
color coding
in the preferences dialog, then close the file.  It will
prompt you to save
the modified file.  Try typing "task" in a window then press
Ctrl+Z.  It
will highlight the word task but it will not undo/redo anything.
Conversely, if you type "the" and press Ctrl+Z (undo) it will
undo/redo the
typing of the letter "e".

Anyway, I mention all this because I'm considering redoing the syntax
highlighting entirely so that it a) doesn't mark the file as
modified, and
b) allows for multiple levels of undo and redo.  The control
I have in mind
to replace the existing one with will also allow for lots of
cool additional
editor features like bookmarks, block indent/unindent, and
additional syntax
highlighting features.  It'll also allow for a better print &
print preview.
And it is extremely configurable in many other ways.

Does this appeal to anyone?  So far I've only heard from a
handful of RcxCC
users.

At present, I've enabled Scout (tested) and RCX2 (untested)
support, added
configurable color/styles for syntax highlighting, and fixed
a few minor
bugs (which I haven't documented yet).  If you are aware of
bugs that you'd
like fixed or you have a feature you are itching to see
implemented and you
haven't already emailed me, please do so.

Thanks,
John Hansen
