Firstly, PB/Vision is still sold and supported by PowerBASIC, and as such, the source code is not available. JFYI, PB/Vision was written with PowerBASIC, so it is NOT directly related to Turbo Vision in any whay that I know of.

If you check the PowerBASIC SUPPORT web page, you can confirm if you have the most recent version of PB/Vision. http://www.powerbasic.com/support If you require an update, please email mailto:[email protected][email protected]</A> with your serial number and current version number, and they will send you any applicable update.

If you have some code that clearly demonstrates an issue (bug) with PB/Vision that is not corrected in the latest version, then please submit your code in compilable form to mailto:[email protected][email protected]</A> and we'll do our best to fix any problems we can identify.

While I respect your wish to write a "do-all" editor, there are a already a large number of 3rd-party IDE editors that can be customized to work with PBC.EXE (the command-line compiler) and a large number of other programming languages, and these offer many of the features you have previously requested (and probably a lot more besides!).

If you search the BBS for "editor" you should find a bunch of suggested products. From a cost perspective, purchasing an established editor will surely be cheaper than spending a lot of hours writing you own. That said, don;t let me discourage you from such an ambitious project!

Best of luck with your endeavors!

Stephane, post the code you are using and we may be able to help...

I'm sure you will be able to write a "Syntax Highlighting" editor, seeing as you are the programmer for the project, you can make the code do anything you want. However, if PB/Vision does not do exactly what you want, then you'll have to write your own functions that give you the functionality you require.

Good luck with the project!

PS: When you reply to a message, can you please edit the message so that your reply is not part of the quote? It makes it very hard to read. Thanks! Alternatively, don'y use the "Quoted Reply", but the standard "Reply" button instead (the one that appears at the top and bottom of the thread, rather than the one above individual messages).
