| I have released a new version. If anyone is using this, I would really like to know. You can download from http://www.simulacrum.net.nz/blitzbuddy.php The changes are: * Added help section to help viewer to enable viewing of user guide and language guide. * Added restricting search to particular modules in help viewer. * Shows module introduction text if available when a module is chosen in the help veiwer. * Added option to add a script to be run when help viewer results list item is double-clicked. The item clicked can be substituted into the script using the %result% placeholder. The script could be used to pass the command to an editor. * Added recent searches menu to help viewer search field. * Added tool to create simple BBEdit glossary for BlitzMax. * Remembers splitter position in help viewer window. |

| Hi SJB, I cannot comment on the program as I don't yet have a Mac, just a note to say that the BBEdit link on your website seems to be broken. |
| ||
| I would like to use it (and donate for it) but I don't own a copy of BBEdit and BBEdit is quite an expensive program. Nicolas. |

| Thats the problem. I would really like to use a different IDE than the standart one, but BBEdit is way too expensive. |

| I have corrected the link, thanks Robert. [quote]BBEdit is quite an expensive program. [\quote] Yes it is. The trouble with all the other editors I have looked at (TextMate, SubEthaEdit, jEdit) is that they either have no AppleScript support, or their support is very limited. This makes it difficult to integrate a tool like BlitzBuddy. You can use BlitzBuddy without needing BBEdit, by using the build, run, etc buttons on the BlitzBuddy window, but of course you don't get the nice integration. |

| It seems that Bare Bones have released their TextWrangler editor for free! (http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/index.shtml) TextWrangler is a cut-down version of BBEdit. The BlitzBuddy scripts should work with TextWrangler, although you will need to change references to BBEdit to TextWrangler. |

| I'll check it out. Nicolas. |
