Does anybody know if > something like this is available? This is available in the current development environment, if you really don't want to use the GUI :-). The beta compiler is called 'beta' and can be invoked from the command line, like gcc. Beta has most of the functionality of make built in, so you can just call 'beta mainprogramfile.bet', and it will compile the necessary files, and link the main program. You can of course use Emacs (which has a beta mode) or your favourite other text editor, and familiar tools like cvs, ctags (also has beta support), etc. You can find command line option documentation under http://www.mjolner.com/mjolner-system/documentation/compiler/index.html Yours, -- Erik Corry corry@mjolner.dk
