Re: EDITOR: Compaq Visual Fortran

Hi All,

I have used Compaq Visual Fortran (CVF) for several years. Now I am
using version 6.6. The editor, for fixed format, i.e. 1-6 for comments,
label, etc., 7-72 for body of code, etc. to me is so annoying. The
autoindent doesn't work that well; everytime I need to indent a line, I
still always need to fix it with 'space-bar' key etc etc.

I am just wondering if there is somehing that can be done in this
editor to fix this problem. Somebody might have this problem before?
Any suggestion to fix it?
....

The only way (imo :) ) to really fix it is to use your favorite editor
outside of the IDE and then refresh the file in the IDE before the
make/debug cycle.

One can do a limited customization of key mappings, but even there
there are limitations on what can be done.

It is possible to write add-ins and theoretically one could rewrite an
editor entirely but as far as I know there isn't a freely available
Fortran-aware addin.

Overall, I agree that the MS IDE editor is pretty lame.
