Thank you for expressing your opinion, Dragan, but please don't presume what I "should" have and "should" know. I already wrote the program in VFP. I didn't expect the compiler to be a new adventure in programming any more than I expect my new digital camera will require me to know Photoshop just to take the picture.

I used to write my web pages in HTML, and wrote them all in Wordpad; things have improved since then, and I'm lazier than I used to be. The Fox compiler in version 6 was much simpler; it's always been my experience that cut & paste lends itself to too many mistakes.

I'd like a "programmable interface" as well, but I think editing a text file doesn't quite fall into that category. One of the reasons I want to leave IS is that it simply doesn't work well.

You seem to want complete control over the compile process. I just want it to compile, and save my brain cells for programming in VFP. ;-)

I apologize for ranting. Inno is fine, and it's probably what I'm going with, but missing the library files (and not having anything in the standard interface to remind me) has caused some delay in production and some wasted effort, and after having set it up with a menu, it then required me to use a different method to edit. That was the gist of my earlier complaint.

Again, you make assumptions on how easy or difficult it is for everyone to use standard keyboards, but it's actually a matter of preference, and I prefer saving the creative juices for other endeavors. Compiling is compiling; for me, it should have a few options (what icon to use, where to set up files, what name to call it, etc.), but I don't need a lot.


>And I've learned Inno in two hours.

Maybe that's the key. I've only worked on Inno for a total of half an hour. Check again when I'm up to your level. :-)
