[lazarus] create

[Michael Anthon]

For those of you yearning for a nice IDE under Linux, have a look a CoolEdit
(http://www.netins.net/showcase/Comput-IT/cooledit/).  It has a bunch of
really nice features like built in scripting (so you can get it to compile
your pascal programs directly, with command output to a scrolling text box),
configurable automatic syntax highlighting (a pascal definition comes with
it), multiple document interface paradigm, etc etc etc.

The author wrote his own widget set for it and it's a bit ugly, but it works
very nicely.

Cheers
Michael A

I think you are using a bad distribution or that you don't find
the editor that fit you.
I'm using gEdit of Gnome, and can do all the things that I can
in an editor for win (Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, etc)

-O_O-  Keep working at it... you will either succeed, or become an expert.
