At sunsite.unc.edu in directory /pub/Linux/X11/xapps/editors or in a
sunsite mirror, same path.
Now the new Version 2.0 of xwb, X-window workbench is available.
It is based on the Xlib and Xview libraries and looks similar to
the "textedit"-editor from SUN, has mostly the same editing-functions
making c-programming or textprocessing quite comfortable.
Additionally is has buttons for starting compiler, textformatter
or any other program that somehow converts files, and for executing,
starting a viewer or similar (you can configurate everything yourself,
TeX and GNU Compiler are pre-configured).
The kind of configuration, is automatically detected in evaluating the
file name (if it ends with .c or .tex, for example).
What's new:
The new version runs quite stable on my Linux machine, in the contrary
to the previous Version - I re-wrote the Filemenu function.
The compiler messages can be directed to an additional window, for so
it allows processing it - but a function for automatically jumping
to a line, where an error occurred isn't supported yet - you'll
haveto wait for next version.
I'm still working on a multiple-window method for working with C-projects,
there are still some problems with the Xview library with creating
textwindows outside of the main frame.
Hope you'll enjoy working with xwb -
