From: Tom Fetherston <ranch1@EARTHLINK.NET> To all mode Authors, Hi all, I'm working on a universal mode installer, it works pretty much the same way as the installer in Vince's Additions. One of the messy parts is in the versionExtractor proc, in most cases it looks like it is going to have to use a scanmatch pattern specific to the mode you are trying to get the version for. So, I am looking for a universal format to be used in modes created from now on. Some things to consider, All modes are now to have a xxxMode.tcl file, in fact, that file can contain the entire mode. Is this not the logical place for the universal format to go? possible formats: Johan's # html.tcl, HTML mode 1.3: macros and bindings for editing HTML documents. Tom's # latex.tcl, version 3.2: macros, menu, and key bindings for LaTeX users Oleg's # $Id: SchemeMode.tcl,v 1.3 1996/07/03 14:19:49 oleg Exp oleg $ Any input on this? Plus, who wants a copy? Tom
