Cool thanks. It runs good under wine, still have to setup all paths though
and test how dsss operates. Dcode works perfectly. 

I still think tango docs would be useful and have found that dil can
generate very nice documentation: http://code.google.com/p/dil/

The tarball of tango doc in html is about 800 kb, but I'm sure a more
spartan kind of doc can be made that is much smaller.

This is actually a problem for me.  The install won't finish because I 
don't have my windows installed under C:\Windows\System32, Its in 
D:\win2\System32.   There are various ways to get windows system32 path. 
  The installer tool your using should have some special path for it.

Of course the work around I used was simply to create those folders and 
then copy the files across.

I got mad enough at not having DDBI to do something about it.  I just=20

The new version is uploaded and ready.  I also modified the pathmunging=20

Just having an installer like this is a huge step forward.  I wish 
Walter would put a link to it in his download section. I wonder how many 
people give up using DMD just because they see a zip file on the website?

Good grief!  I rationalized not looking up the docs for the System32 location
by assuming that there aren't many people who install to locations other than
C:\Windows\system32.

Stoopid me.

Oh well... Murphy's law.  The moment I stop assuming the worst, the worst will
happen.  In this case, the worst possible is that someone installed to
somewhere other than C:\Windows\System32.

I'll make a new installer when I get back home to my build machine.

Yeah, the main reason I have windows installed there is that it's like 
the 7th time I've had to re-install it.  So you can blame MS.

I like the simplicity of DCode for just trying small programs out.  The 
only real thing that bugs me with it is that it doesn't auto save when I 
press F7.
