Re: [WDSCI-L] One way PDM towers over WDSC

["Mark Phippard" <MarkP@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I will play around with some C code on Monday and let you know how it works
in 5.0.  They did a lot with the docs for RPG etc. in 5.0, so maybe they
did for C also.

Actually, CODE is an adequate editor.  Many who write in C/C++ just use a
text editor, esp. one that can color-code keywords and strings, etc.
TextPad can do this, CodeWright, IBM's own ez editor from the Andrew
toolkit that's part of the Developer Tools PRPQ.

Now Visual C++, from Microsoft, does a lot more, including auto-completion,
as y'all are getting to some extent. And parameter and member listings for
structs, etc. And this is without having to bring up a browser display -
it's in the IDE.

One thing I really am surprised about is the absence of the Run-Time
Library Reference in the documentation.  I mean, no help for malloc? for
memcpy? I will make a wish list item of this stuff at the WDSC site.

Thanks again
