Re: TameDOS for vDOS-lfn

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

Carl,
I need more formatted output for programming. Just the ability to emphasize
comments is very helpful. In principle, you could assign a format and color
to guillemets, for XPL programming. With vDos-lfn, I just have them in a
very light gray color.
Tame doesn't seem to add complication--it's just complicated to set things
once how you want them. Other than that, it's just one line added to
AUTOEXEC.NT.

Regards,
Harry
