Re: Integrated development on emulators: The next step

Ewen,

It always brightens my day to read your posts. I trust you are well these days.

Thank you for continuing to contribute here.

I too write my code in BBEdit on the Mac. Of course, I write in Merlin32 and have a BBEdit language module for it (for coloring and the like), rather than write in ORCA/M as you do.

I find BBEdit more than sufficient for my needs, as I've set up a 'droplet' to take the source and produce the binary to transfer to the emulator.

I suppose we all have our own procedures.

Regards,





Hugh Hood
