I've been told: "UltraEdit runs perfectly with WINE" I found WINE in the SuSE PRO installation kit. However, in the Yast2 catalog description I read the word "(ALPHA)". This makes me think that WINE is a SuSE application that runs only on ALPHA stations ... is thia true ??? Is there a Window-like SuSE application that supports UltraEdit ??? This editor is much easier to use and efficient than any editor coming with SuSE. Thank you. Maura

That would probably mean that Wine is in alpha stage of development, not the platform it runs on. If you bought 7.3 pro for x86 platform, all the programs on the CD/DVD would be for the x86 platform. -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871
No, it means that the release is Alpha quality. In other words it is not ready for production use and may contain bugs. In software releases you will find many times Alpha, Beta (which is in a better shape then the alpha release and getting closer to the final release) and then the final release when most bugs have been squashed and most features have been implemented.

It does, I've set it up for my boss twice so I know. One thign: It seems you have to CD into the directory where UE is first, then run it. i.e. cd /work/test/wine/win_apps/ue/ wine uedit32.exe Generally wine /work/test/wine/win_apps/ue/uedit32.exe would work but it doesn't for me.

Nope. Alpha here means "not even beta yet", i.e. very early in it's life. Beta software is software that is not yet "released" as "officially useable" ( otherwise known as "stable") because it's still in the works and the developer doesn't consider it "ready to go" yet.. This has nothing to do with DEC/Compaq ALPHA and in fact I do not belive WINE runs on anything but x86 (AMD/Intel).

Hey, at least give emacs a fair try in GUI mode (X Windows).
Thank you. Maura

Howdy,

No, it's considered "alpha quality" (i.e. before beta releases). However, it does work fairly well much of the time.

I recommend Kate, which is included with KDE (probably the desktop you are using), it has most of the features I liked about UltraEdit. Frankly, I know of nothing that has *everything* that UltraEdit features in as nice of package - but Kate is getting there. -Tim PS: Going by your e-mail address, it looks like we are in the same city.

That was me, yes, it really runs with the (alpha code ) wine, perfectly. You can take the wine from the suse CDs or get the latest one from www.winehq.com. I tried both, no problem, without any tweaking. But before you think now, you can run more windows software with the help of wine, I have to repeat that UltraEdit was the only thing which I could get running perfectly, or even running at all. Wine is on the way to become a great tool, but it has still a long way to go.

Tim, the main feature I'm missing in Kate and all other Linux editors is a good multi-file find and replace. UltraEdit is really great for that. Matt

I havn't run ultraedit under wine, but I will tell you that the newsreaders Agent and FreeAgent also run very well under wine, if you are looking to test other wine apps. -- $|=1;while(1){print pack("h*",'75861647f302d4560275f6272797f3');sleep(1); for(1..16){for(8,32,8,7){print chr($_);}select(undef,undef,undef,.05);}}

If you ever find a Linux editor that offers that, please let me know.

Would "nedit" provide the features of "Mac-like" word processor/text editor that people are looking for in UltraEdit... ??

Not quite. UE is a MDI editor like Kate, where IIRC, nedit only can edit one file per window. That lowers (IMO) nedit's viability for programming/project management, unfortunately. -Tim -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.
