THINK and Alpha
Yes! Finally Think has support for external editors (7.0 or better). To
make this work, put an alias of Alpha in the "Tools" subdirectory of the
directory the project manager is in, and name the alias "Editor".
Secondly, check the "Use External Editor" button in the project manager's
option dialog. You do not have to check the "Always Check File Dates"
button.
Any open window events will now be vectored to Alpha, and from within
Alpha you can initiate compiles, disassembles, makes, etc. Errors are
reported back to Alpha.
Look in :Tcl:SystemCode:"think.tcl" for the code controlling much of the
interactions between THINK and Alpha. If you improve anything, please send
it back to me.
If a window contains a file that is part of the a project that is
currently open in the Think Project Manager, selecting "Open Header" from
the Think menu will put up a list of include files. The same files can be
accessed by option-clicking on the window's title-bar.
A fileset consisting of the source to a think project can be created
through the "File:File Sets" menu.
