This is how programs suffer because of the shortcomings of development tools
and, accordingly, their users.

of replacements and then replace them in all files. But then it will rule
(not for long) :)

I don’t understand. The editor seemed to be ready:? Or have everyone been deceived?
We want “Storm-2”. At least tell me what percentage???
+-All the best, Vladimir!

yeah, the progress bar is like Medny's ;)
the editor is ready - without block operations and without loading/unloading ;)
as for the compiler, I've had a horse lying around for a whole week now :-) at the dacha.
I think it's ideology, you see...
I want it quickly, but I can't do it quickly yet, due to various circumstances.
I can say one thing for sure - on a 128 machine it won’t even start.
everyone was screaming that few programs use extended memory, so here you go, not from Uncle Bill, but from me :-) you need 16 kilos for the marks at once, I’m being perverted here in terms of speed. I want to fit into one clock cycle to search for any tag in
any amount of tags. So far it turns out that to search in a one and a half thousand array you need to
sort through ten bytes in a row, but for this you need to click
the beak three times ;)
in short, the editor is about 60%, the compiler is about 5.
All the best.
Dmitry.

Hi * Dmitry * !
And it all started on 12 - Jul - 99 at 01:42:05, when Dmitry Lomov
talked with Valentin Pimenov about Storm - 2 (Re: New text editor for
Spectrumists)

Well, this is always the case, it’s similar for me, although sometimes I get my thoughts together, sit down on the weekend and code all day long without stopping, until the gunpowder becomes bad. ;)

In my opinion, there is nothing bad here, for codersEveryone needs a machine
much better than the one for which they write this or that product, I just
hope that 128 pages will be free.
By the way, could you send a regular storm only for 512, and not for
128? Otherwise I’m suffering a little :( Just don’t say that “It’s easy for anyone” ;)))

A quick search for tags is useful foreva, although I don’t use it very often
it happens occasionally, usually I try to remember the numbers of these or other lines.
DL> in short, the editor is about 60%, the compiler is about 5.
Well, for now, good luck writing STORM-2 ;)

├┤it was a hot summer day in the yard (Tue 13 Jul 1999, 18:56:44), but Dmitry Lomov
tried to talk with Valentin Pimenov about Storm-2 (Re: New text editor for

That’s it! That's it, I'm joining the ranks of fans of Storm 2 ;) Just finish it quickly,
rules.
DL> in short, the editor is about 60%, the compiler is about 5.
We hope the numbers have already grown a little? ;)

Where are you trying to put gunpowder, but it doesn’t work? 8-Q What, are you writing editor
there and at the same time stuffing something with gunpowder? ;)
So there is still gunpowder in the flasks and berries in the berries... oh ;) and ..moisture is in the
vla..
;)) In general, let's make the editor more intensive! ;)

Not “gunpowder”, but “sometimes”, if I made a typo, then why bother?
And editor, I’m already doing it at work, at least I’m trying :)

I agree. That's me ;)
SM> So, the subzha's admirers will decrease...
yes, I know. perhaps there will be an incentive to expand the memory.
I still have 256, I know that even there it will be cramped.
according to the latest estimates, the optimal amount of memory for relaxed work is a meter.
for relaxed work - 512. 256 is the lower limit. When I finish the compiler, I'll tell you
where it all goes.
