Hey, everybody!

I'm in France and I like this country. I kinda missed you. Hope you enjoy my DinkC Editor(by the way, DaVince, the errors are selected if you double-click on them in the error bar.).
Ooh, there's error selecting too? That's nice!
But, if you thought that's what I meant with syntax highlighting... Then no. Syntax highlighting is the thing of giving colours to certain words or characters. For example, making ints and voids blue, comments green, DinkC commands black, and perhaps errors red or dark red. This makes things just a bit easier to navigate.
I'm using Dev-C++ for my scripts atm, but once I get this one on my Dink PC I'll try it a bit longer for a while.

That type of syntax highlight... hmmm... I might do it, but not now. For the moment, I want to release a new version of it, that should improve some things and add some new features.
Things that are on my list:
-change the default background to white(I liked the blue one, but I guess some people don't)
-make it MDI(I'll only do this if several people request it, so if you want to be able to open more scripts in the same program(like the web pages in Opera), post here)
-make avaible the "Set as default for *.c files" option, but I don't know how yet, so please help.
-use the source for compile.exe in the program, so it won't call the external file every time, but I don't know how to use C functions in a delphi program, so please help, again.
If you have any other bugs to report, or suggestions, please post here.

Opera uses tabs, which are those thingees on a new toolbar in the top. MDI however, if smaller child windows in one big main window. The tabbed styled idea isn't a bad idea at all either though, maybe even better than an MDI interface. 
You'll have to fiddle with the Windows register to set up .c files for Dink. I'm sure there are tutorials around on the internet for that.

I think that tabbed interfaces are indeed better than MDI, though MDI is better than multiple windows open. Come on everyone, I emplore you to speak and say speak your mind one way or the other so we get at least one of them, though preferably tabs. I know that that's what all of my programs will use.
