Re: Codewright Failure

I'm also a long time user of Codewright (version 4.0e from 1996). No 
other editor has satisfied me in terms of getting the code written 
quickly. I've carried it forward on all the windows versions since 1996. 
Each version of windows made CW work a little worst but MS seemed to fix 
the little oddities as windows did incremental updates. It works real 
nicely with windows 10.

You don't need the installer if you have a prior installation. All you 
need to do is copy the directory tree verbatim TO THE SAME DRIVE AS the 
ORIGINAL. If you can't keep the same drive, you'll need to hand edit the 
.ini files that refer to the drive letter before you run it on the new 
computer.

Problems I've observed with the different windows versions are:
- It stalls loading during the splash screen. Sometimes it eventually 
continues after 10 minutes or so, sometimes never. Killing it and 
restarting it usually fixes that problem. I use Notepad++ as a backup in 
case I can't get CW to load.
- It screws up key repeat timing sometimes when it loads. I have not 
found a permanent fix to that but I think if you allow loading to happen 
on a mostly inactive computer (very low CPU load), the timing will be 
right. This problem is the most annoying because it's not always easy to 
make it work right.
- The help system is dead. It relies on .hlp files which are now gone 
forever. I never missed it.
