#3 FindTag and v5 Textpad

[Tom Asbury]

I don't know whether to call this a bug report or a feature request, but findtag v1.2 doesn't work with my
v5.0.3 textpad.

The problem shows up if I try a symbol lookup (findtag on a symbol or showtag/select off the tree); we do not find the symbol in the textpad window. OK, quit textpad. From the task manager process window, findtag is not running, but the textpad process is (even though the window is gone), and it's running to the extent that if another textpad instance updates the file, the dead one will ask if it should update it's copy.

This is 5.0.3 textpad with findtag 1.2 and ctags 5.7, on win nt2k-final.

If I try the same operation on v4.7.3 textpad (win 98), same .c file, same tags file, it works fine (finds symbols) with no zimbie textpads.

I realize findtag isn't advertized to work with v5 textpad, but durn....
