Maybe I'll worry about that after I get "Hello World" to compile. :-(
Has anybody else noticed that cprep19 doesn't like header files that
don't end with a newline, and that the Krieder clib header files don't
end with newlines? I don't remember this problem... But I was
probably using an older version. Humm....
As for hacking tmode itself, maybe I will. This is mostly just a
problem for setting/clearing echo and maybe pause. Or perhaps I'll
just make a copy of it called tmod so I can have "tmod eko=1" be the
same number of characters as "tmode echo". There are reasons to do
either one.
Besides, it's not like I can really recommend using stevie, anyway.
Being a vi clone, it uses the escape key a lot. Unlike some of the
other OS-9 vi-like editors, only one of the four possible escape-key
combos (esc, shift-esc, ctrl-esc, alt-esc) is caught properly, the
others all cause the program to exit. NOT a good feature in a text
editor. Especially when you can't remember which is the one that
actually works...
