Ah, ok. I wondered about that new file but I haven't had time
to install the latest version yet.
What are you basing the new compiler on, or are you intending
to start from scratch? That would seem to be a lot of work.

Re: Hi

Yes! I've compiled OK ...

Just only a few things:

* "Save all" menu does not save the project ( spr ) file. You can only 
save the project manually when closing the IDE.

* If you try to compile the project without having the project's file 
saved, then IDE beeps but no error message is shown. Is by this reason I 
thought I can't compile with this version. With last "bug", if you try 
to start a new project, you can't compile it until you close the IDE and 
save the project, and then you reopen the IDE to work.

* When starting the IDE It alerts me I need to have at least two 
help-files. Is there any way to remove this warning or get this files?
   - WDSybil.HLP
   - OS2API.HLP

* Some message appears in german. Well, now I know that "Abbruch" is 
cancel ;). Really isn't important.

* It could be really pretty if there was a "Close" in file menu, to 
close the active tab in Window Editor ( or in a "Popup Menu" over the 
tab ). Also, a "Close All" could be pretty or a "Open Project" which 
replaces the current open project ... or "recent projects" option,  But 
both best implemented than in Delphi 7, which make Delphi's IDE crash 
sometimes ;)

If you want I can try to fix some of this ... what policy follow you to 
post source's updates?

That I must look in the Source.
You can use the Mneu "Project/Save", than the SPR-Files are seved.

Thank you for the Info. Perhaps I can correct this.
