- Yesterday I started reviewing Brief (in Borland's new distribution)
- for a magazine, but sofar I'm very disappointed. Setup bombs when I
- try to set my own file extensions, the manual is incomplete, contradicts
- itself or is plain wrong, the separation between kernel and userlayer
- is very foggy and the extension language (CBrief, the lisp thing isn't
- covered in the manual anymore) is quite incomplete (eg. apparently no
- arrays or structs).
-
- But the program has quite a good reputation, which surely (or
- hopefully?) isn't based on ads only. So can someone explain what I'm
- missing? And what do you like especially about the editor? And your
- dislikes?
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Ernst de Ridder

- P.S. Please reply by Email.
