hi this is no bug \n is correctly highlighted when it stands alone line\n does not match \n \ doesn't have any special meaning in normal keywords Stefan / AH

hi everyone! i said to some ppl that i will release a new beta this week but i will not do that, because there is not enough new or fixed in the current version, and the last release is only 2 weeks old future releases will not be posted to the forum but only here (at the official beta page on the homepage!): http://ndn.muxe.com/beta.php i am also unsure if i should also post all beta releases to freshmeat, or maybe only the major ones?! about languages: most of you probably saw that i have uploaded the last languages files and executables to translate or fix these w/o contacting me of course, i haven't done this only for your pleasure :P i will only modify up-to-date language files (at the moment russian and english), so it's up to you to provide me with resources that i can work with and, the help files really need some work! (HINT!) best wishes, Stefan / AH

Hi! Today i posted NDN on freshmeat. It may take sometime until the page is online, but this is up to the freshmeat team :) http://freshmeat.net/ http://freshmeat.net/projects/ndn/ http://freshmeat.net/releases/187768/ Stefan / AH

hi! [*] sorted out files for old NDN's; renamed ah_news.txt -> whatsnew.txt [+] added FORTRAN to highlight data [!] new licence.txt and file_id.diz [*] compile script(s): if ALL do not start the program & more enhancements [+] release script(s): added ALL cmd [+] made int64 unit (tQuad/Comp: mul/div/mod/shr/shl/...)

hi! d32 LFN are not working in the first upload i will fix this and upload a new version in a few minutes Stefan / AH

hi! i just wanted to share some inside stuff: (and maybe someone has wants to add something to it) 1) i plan to make NDN Freeware licensed at the moment it is DONATEWARE (whatever it is meant to be ;) i have not received any donation yet :P and i doubt that any of the authors did before i want to promote NDN project on freshmeat.net and, i want to make it possible to include it in linux distributions, so i want to have a foolproof license (if that is possible at all...) NDN definetely doesn't get the attention it deserves there's a huge user potential in the LINUX world for NDN, i want to use it (and maybe kick MCs ass? :) 2) the next release will mainly be a viewer and linux release (don't worry, enough other bugs fixed too) but, LINUX will be my main target within the next 2 months, i want to try as hard as possible to support LINUX as good as possible. when i have the LINUX version on a comparable level to the W32/D32 version everything will go normal again after all i have to maintain 3 different OSs, which is not easy (although i love it ;) and i want to support them all equally greetz Stefan / AH

hi we could set the FILE MODIFIED flag (* in the lower left corner) for those files, so you can save with f2 or, autosave on creation (autosave on open is already in ndn) Stefan / AH

hi! there's no connection whatsoever with the shell that NDN is started in except when executing a file i don't know how the name completion should communicate with the shell in this case but, even if, what about D32 and LNX? i need to put the code into NDN with all drawbacks and advantages :P Stefan / AH PS: i do read all of the other bug posts some are fixed already, i simply can't reply to them all :)

hi this is the default behaviour in the DPMI32 version which has been corrected in the WIN32 version keyboard code in SEPTEMBER :) from the news file of version 2.14.8186: [-] W32: ALT behaviour like D32 == Alt signaled on release (Dandv) (UserScreen, Quicksearch...) [NC] Stefan / AH

hi ive noticed that, and i think i have fixed that recently the output of the ALT-F1/F2 list is processed for display probably the spaces are removed there ALT DIFFERENCE: this only applies to ALT-[1-9] LEFT ALT changes left window RIGHT ALT changes right window same for CTRL difference Stefan / AH

hi yes, code only allowed it for disk VFSs archive branch isn't supported yet in NDN ill add it to the list Stefan / AH

hi! extreme programming is basically what describes NDN's development history best (at least since RITLabs released the source code) unit tests (or prototypical testing, as i know it) are a cool thing, especially before you add a new function or procedure to NDN i AM testing every new code thoroughly (when it is INSIDE NDN, because this is easier for me than to write an own program to test... and dont forget i have to test some code for 3 operating systems at the moment) i cannot do a EDITOR unit test, i need whole NDN around it but, at some point (when i haven't found any problems anymore) i must end the work on this bugfix or new feature and trust my tests sometimes i don't find new bugs i introduced but, that is what BETA versions are there for the problem is not a single new function or a couple of bugfixes, but the whole structure of the 'fixed' part of NDN, where bugs are hard to spot especially using unit-tests (f.ex. EDITOR, with tons of different options for every aspect...) i will not spend time to make unit-tests because i will be able to use the time better to fix more bugs or add new features if you want to write me unit-tests for the SHITLOAD of functions in NDN, you are welcome, i rather spend my time on fixing the bugs on the list (and most of them are not my fault) about regression... to compare my current version of NDN to older versions, i have 10 different versions of my source code on HD (which i save from time to time when a good branch is existing) i have an archive of all the releases i made starting from dec/03 additionally i have following programs installed to compare with DN 1.51 (RITLabs) DNOSP DNOSPW NDN 2.11 d/w NDN 2.12 d/w (the versions i compiled from the first source code i got from Necromancer) NDN 2.13 d/w (Chemodun) a little suggestion: i would like everyone who reads this to download and compare the current NDN to the last public version 2.11 http://ndn.sourceforge.net/ i am very satisfied with the development of NDN in the past 18 months (i started work in june 2003) so i don't see a reason to change my developing style any other opinions? your opinion can never be wrong :) Stefan / AH

hi nick! http://forums.muxe.com/index.php?act=ST&f=22&t=292 Stefan / AH

hi i just recreated this bug in the very first version of NDN i received 2 years ago (so its not my fault :P) -> to the list Stefan / AH

hi! from ah_news.txt todo VIEWER - getline should expand/handle tabs fixes highlite problems you can check for the problem by viewing the file you uploaded and pressing CTRL-F10 thanks anyway :) Stefan / AH

hi! cmdline -> to the list SFN/LFN -> hehe... this time i got you ;) OPTIONS/CONFIGURATION/LFN-SETUP Show Long File Names in [X] Column Titles *[X] Put In cmdline * [X] Command Line [X] File Panel Info [X] Work panels *[X] Put in clipboard* [X] Disk Info panel [ ] Put in listfiles ** are the 2 options you should take a look at i will enable the PUT IN CMDLINE option by default regarding amount of users and NDN: well, in THEORY this is a good idea :) but, i won't stop doing changes even if a lot of users will complain about it if it is the right thing to do ;) NDN will still grow and have bugs (unfortunately, but maybe not so much :P) in future or maybe i should only release a new version every 3-6 months? :P Stefan / AH PS: new beta next week

hi! this was fixed some days ago thanks Stefan / AH

hey! i know the issue in general: i am no fan of programs that second-guess you and want to correct the user in my opinion NDN should not change the input of the makedir inputline (some programs won't allow you to create ' 123' directories because of the leading spaces, although it is no problem for the OS) what you type in is going to be created if the OS doesn't allow it you made something wrong not NDN ;) COPY/MOVE also doesn't check for the double quotes (just checked) what do the other users think about this? Stefan / AH

hi! auto completion in editor is of course a nice thing but no plans yet ill keep it in mind (and add it to the list) i don't know if the implementation would raise the amount of memory used a lot and would lower the speed of the editor noticably but, i also didn't know about bracket highlighting until i started adding it :) Stefan / AH

hi again (hehe, you were quite busy today Dan :P) XML oh, nice, i will add that (that happens if someone who doesn't use a language tries to add support for it) HTML a recent highlight fix also fixes your posted bug :) and i will correct the comments (this is old, who added the html?) thanks for the other 2 hgl entries Stefan / AH

hi! 1. ok 2. this is fixed for the new version (as well as tons of other viewer stuff) 3. noticed that too -> to the list i am not sure what you mean with unit test Stefan / AH

hi! from ah_news.txt TURBOVISION: DIALOGS/MENUS - replace in viewer/editor doesnt update first hexline correctly thanks anway :) Stefan / AH

hi! not at the moment as i am just working on doing backward search with REGEX i know that the search routines support *only* 256 byte strings max. not sure how complex it would be to change that, BUT, i also don't know how big inputlines can be in TURBO VISION in the resources the size of a string needs to be provided maybe we can expand the max size to 512 easily? we need to choose a *small* size Stefan / AH
