GoldEd contains a number of still unfixed bugs or semi-unsolvable
problems. The following list is *not* complete.
Internal editor
---------------
The internal editor has many odd bugs, most prominently the line
wrapping when editing at the end of lines and the block
(cut/paste) functions. As you may know, the internal editor code
is ported from the source of another editor, Msged 2.00, and the
code was buggy from the start - my implementation did not make it
much better... It is almost impossible to removed the bugs (I have
tried many times), and I have resolved to simply write a
completely new internal editor for a future version.
Multitasking environment
------------------------
2.30: It *is* possible to run GoldED and read/write mail, while
a user is online on your networked or multitasking
RA/Super/QuickBBS, but it is *NOT* safe! This is something
I will surely be taking care of in a near future version.
2.31: In this version, I added code to support safe sharing of
the messagebase. I'm not sure how well it works in
practice, but preliminary reports indicate that it works
as it should.
Swapping
--------
Several users have experienced problems using the swapping
facility in GoldED to shell to DOS or an external editor. Usually
this is a result of conflicts between various EMS/XMS/extended
memory managers. Try using SWAPALL DISK, this usually always work
(if there is enough free disk ;-). You might also try turning off
the OVERLAYEXT/EMS keywords, if you had them on.
Overlays
--------
In at least one case, I have heard of conflicts between an
overlayed version of Binkley, running in a multitasking
environment with GoldED. Binkley and GoldED both seems to use and
grab the same overlay manager interrupt...
There are other bugs and problems, but I can't remember them right
now.
