SKILL Development toolbox

archive
archive over 20 years ago

Hi All,

Does anyone here use the "SKILL Development toolbox". Does it really help in writing skill programs. Besides this toolbox are there other software that would aid in Skill development.
May I know the cost for the license for this toolbox.
Currently I just use a text editor (UltraEdit-32).

thanks,
newbie

    Hi,

    I'm using CRedit (http://www.praven3.com/credit/). It's a quite nice configurable editor and I've built the SKILL language highlighting and keywork list. But you might consider of a different Editor with function folding (collapse/expand an (...) structure) like Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/about.php).

    The SKILLdev Toolbox is only working on a Unix station, it will not work in Windows at all. Although there are some functions available in Windows (sklint), most is only accessable in Unix. Even Linux up to 15.2 has the SkillDev Toolbox broken. Hopefully it's going to get functional in 15.5.1 soon.

    If you are use to more traditional Windows based text editors (Think Notepad, Wordpad or even Microsoft Word) I would recommend using either Notepad++ or VS Code. I use both and they both offer good customization for making Skill code more readable and easier to develop.
