Having used emacs/make/gcc/gdb as my IDE/toolchain since the late '80s, I have found most "modern" IDEs to be crap. Having to deal with a bazillion windows and the mouse and configuration options buried all over the place just drives me nuts. And in most cases I don't even get context-aware auto-indent -- something I just can't live without. Rather than using external editor forked from an IDE, I would much rather just have access to command-line versions of the compilers (and that they generate parse-able output) and code-flashing tools. Can anyone comment on the extent to which command-line tools are provided in MPLAB-X? -p. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
