Hi colin

> Dev-c++/pascal because i'm rewriting the whole thing

I have downloaded the dev-c++ package and found it a very ambitious and
promising project. If you plan to rewrite it or parts of it, would you mind
to consider the following suggestions:

1) make gcc invoke one time per source file instead of multiple source files
in one gcc invokation, so you can display in a status line which source file
is compiling
2) make a ctrl-c break of the compilation process
3) maybe you can implement a more intelligent "make" function, but I know
this is not trivial a task

4) very important: make the paths in the *.dev file relative so you can move
all sources together with the project file into another directory.

Now to some more obscure featues
5) Why the hell can't a source file have the same name than a project
file??? I have "test.dev" and want to have "test.cpp" in it I did this 1000
times before with other compilers
6) If I select "new source file" from the file menu, then rename that source
file, and then want to save it the first time, dev-c++ complains that a
source file of the same name is already existing in the project
harharharharharharhar
7) make the project directory the default directory for new source files. I
have found them saved to the root directory of my HD.

well, that's already 7 points, a magic number, I could continue this list
but I think these are the "features" of Dev-C++ that I would like to have
changed most. Wait until gcc 2.95.3 (<-!!!) is released as MinGW version,
since this is the most recent gcc (it's not the same as 2.95.2-3).

later,
chris
