Any quick fix would have more serious consequences, so we have to postpone
it.

Something related came up in the mailing list lately: We
should offer a program to translate Resources from nedit.rc
to pattern files and C code. The latter part could then
limit itself to 500 or so characters per line. Volunteers?

There are the hyphen-punctuated action routine names, I
presume. I suggest you go ahead and remove them. Nobody
should be using them now; I think they should be removed
from the code base too (and the special parser/lexer code
removed too). They've been deprecated for almost as long as
I remember, and were only there for compatibility between v4
(where macros were simply sequences of action routine calls)
and v5 (where the macro language was first implemented) anyway.

That's the NEdit Macro pattern set btw.

To alleviate this problem, I would like to remove the
obsolete actions from the pattern set. Any objections?

We should probably reconsider having lines so long in the
source. With some lines being more than 3000 characters
long, we're bound to find a compiler that can't deal with it.

I split line (551): (near the &quot;end_of_file&quot; ) tag like so:

000551         Text Actions:\&quot;&lt;(?:self-insert|self_in
000552                      end_of_file|next-page|nex

And it compiled !!!!  

I have (3) other changes I had to make to the build,
in order for the os390 build to succeed, any sugestions
on how to pass those changes into cvs ????

OK, I removed line (551) and the compile succeeded.

I will attempt to identify what part of line (551) is the 
problem

That was my first &quot;hunch&quot;, but I &quot;discounted&quot; that
theory
because &quot;line 550&quot; is longer than line &quot;551&quot;.

But, I'll give it a try. Sorry I should have done it myself
before bothering you.. 

Thanks for taking the time to reveiw my issue.

I can't find anything wrong. Perhaps you hit a compiler
limit (string too long?). Could you try to isolate the
problem, ie. first try to remove the offending line and if
that compiles, add half of the line back etc.
till you find the problem ? (make sure that the line is
always terminated with a backslash).

I got the newest version 1.52 from cvs, and I am still 
getting the same error

I downloaded &quot;nedit-latest-sources-HEAD&quot; on June 6.  
Which is last &quot;friday&quot;.  I looked in the file and here is what
I
found:

const char CVSID   = &quot;$Id: highlight.c,v 1.42 2003/05/09 
17:43:45

So you are correct.  I guess the latest-sources-head wasn't
100% up to date.....

Thanks for the repsonse,

Are you sure you got the latest CVS version? 
There has been a problem near line 551 a few days ago, but it 
was fixed. The latest version of highlightData.c is version 1.52. 
You can find the version number at the first line, inside the 
CVSID string.
