So don't waste anymore time on the MapBasic editor you clearly need I believe that it was a consciousĭecision on MapInfo's part that they were not in the editor-buildingīusiness, and instead they focused on mapping and data support features. Suitable only for writing the occasional scripts that people need forĮveryday production use of MapInfo. Totally bug-free (*I've* never been able to crash it.) It's lack ofįeatures make it simple to use (albeit tedious), and really it is It meets a minimum standard of functionality, and it appears to be I am SO glad those days are now in the dusty past!īut MapInfo's "last century" editor wasn't intended to be a full-on IDE. Shave cycles and minimize memory use as much as possible. Had to do with how to build better floating point routines or how to Merciless, non-optimizing assembler to write faster routines or driversįor new equipment as it came out. Why, in the days of yore whenĦ4K memory was enough for anybody, we had to use line editors like edlinĪnd debug and were constantly switching from our no-frills FORTRAN to a My, how coddled programmers are these days! ![]() but I can't you use this "STUFF" and feel my pain > if Eric had written that I would have jumped all over him. What do you all think? If somebody can spare the time of course. Would it not be a good idea to collect the information on these external tools, along with the existing word lists and instructions for setting them up on the MapInfo Wiki? Then you would not have toĪt the moment, only UltraEdit is mentioned under FrontPage > MapInfoRoadmap > MapBasicDevelopment > CodeGenerators but the WordFile seems recently updated ( but for some reason I cannot get the file itself to show). Recent mails here mention UltraEdit, TextPad and Notepad++.īut I believe that these differ in functionality as well as in how well they are updated to reflect the current MB version (with regard to the Word list, for instance) Apparently, there are a number of external text editors that people are using for MapBasic coding.Īlso, people have taken the time to compile word lists and whatever you need to make those editors into programming environments for not only code writing, but also compiling, linking, error handling and connecting to the MapBasic Help system.
