Ez_E V1.1 by Kevin Connell This is a simple GUI interface to use with E. I wrote it to make programming in E a simpler task. I had a hard time shuffling windows around, opening a shell 'CD'-ing to the right directory, and doing all that typing. Ez_E makes E Ez!!! It's really just a simple cover that replaces all that window shuffling and typing. There are 5 simple buttons that should be self explanatory, but the use of each is as follows: Compile: This button will compile your program. All output from the compiler will appear in the 'Ez_E IO window' so you can see what it is doing. Note that you should have selected a work file with editor before using this button, but if you didn't, it will ask you for an .e file to use as the object. Editor: This will open your editor. It will present you a file requestor, and all you need to do is locate your current work file. It will automatically pass the name of this file to your editor, so don't worry about passing command strings. Execute: This will (attempt to) run the program you are currently working on. If you have not opened a project with the editor or the compiler button, it will do nothing at all. Currently opens a full screen window to run your program in. Config: This allows you to set up your personal configuration. It is saved in a file called Ez_E.Cfg in your S: directory. The first time the program is run, it will set the defaults, and write the config file. You should then use Config to set your own preferences. There are only 3 prefs right now, and it will step through them one at a time, so it is very self explanatory. Defaults: Path to EC = 'C:' This is where Ez_E will look for EC to compile the programs. Path to Editor = 'C:' This is where Ez_E will look for your editor. Name of Editor = 'MeMacs' This is the name of the default editor. Work Directory = 'RAM:" This is where Ez_E will look for your .e projects. About: Just a little requester with some info about me in it. And thats it! Short, simple, and Ez to use. Disclaimer: This program SHOULD operate properly when used according to the guidelines specified in this document. In no instance will I be liable for any damage caused or data lost by the use or misuse of Ez_E. Bugs: None known (so far). It seems to be a clean program.
