Information

KevEdit is currently being developed on a dual Athlon Linux workstation. It is cross-compiled to DOS and Windows platforms using DJGPP and mingw32. The DOS version is very fast, and can run on 486 hardware with ease. The Win32 and Linux versions use SDL to emulate textmode, and require faster hardware.

The SourceForge KevEdit page has many useful features for managing the development of KevEdit. Of course, most of these will go unused because of KevEdit's audience who are not really the C developer type :)

If you want to keep up with the latest KevEdit sources, you can use CVS. Keep in mind that these releases are unstable and will probably break your ZZT world files, your hard drive, and your mind. Use them at your own risk. (Use the zipfile releases at your own risk too, but that's less of a risk :)

Obtaining the source code

To download the CVS sources for KevEdit, enter the following commands into your shell:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/kevedit login
You will be prompted for a password. Just press enter.
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/kevedit co -P kevedit

The sources will download from there. If you want to update to the latest code at a later time, just switch to the kevedit directory and type:

cvs -z3 update -Pd

The road ahead (heh)

KevEdit is pretty much done in my (Kev's) eyes. I doubt I'll be adding any more big features to it unless they are really interesting. If it turns out to be stable, I would like to make a happy one-point-oh release...
