Has anyone set their system up for writing D Software
I Have set up a F: drive and unzipped the distribution to it
There must be a best way to develop and text D Software

Is it possible to use an editor and batch files for compiling and testing
etc..

Some help would be appreciated

 I Have set up a F: drive and unzipped the distribution to it
 There must be a best way to develop and text (sic) D Software

Did you mean...
There must be a best way to develop and test D Software.

This is a large topic and I don't believe can be covered properly in a
newsgroup. There are many books devoted to programming practices, project
development life cycles and Object Orientated programming principles.  Most
things that can be applied to C\C++ can also be applied to D. So you have a
huge resource of information already available. You'll just have to be aware
of the minor differences, which is where this newsgroup becomes invaluable.

 Is it possible to use an editor and batch files for compiling and testing
 etc..

Yes

A possible editor for D is, http://www.scintilla.org/SciTEDownload.html.
You'll need to set it up for compliation and syntax highlighting using
C/C++/html as a template.

It's best if you can install D to c:\dmd\... or at least if you use f:
(f:\dmd\...) and also you need to install the DMC++ compiler.

Some set up details are included here,

Have fun...
