VIDE

Here are extremely short usage info tips:

First of all, set paths to compilers in Tools/Environment/ Compilers menu.
Then open with File/Open Solution.. solution VideExamples.videsol located in Examples subdirectory.
One only project at time can be active and only one file of each project can be active (i.e. send to compiler when you Compile project). Active items are displayed with bold font in Solution Explorer (and active project's name is also in main window's caption).
To change active project or active file right click on it in Solution Explorer and select Activate item in popup menu. You can also add/remove/rename/... items in Solution Explorer this way. Some of these actions ca also be accessed trough main menu (always for active project here).
Try to compile an run some examples in VideExamples solution. You can use Solution/Build All command to build all projects at once. If you supplied paths to both Delphi and Free Pascal all projects should compile successfully. If you do not have one of compilers installed change used compiler in Project/Options menu for projects which use compiler which you do not have. Except FPCSamles all projects in VideExamples can be compiled in both Delphi and Free Pascal.
If you rename (not save as) solution/project/file old file will be deleted.
If you want to recompile Vide you will need SynEdit component, Numalian Engine and VCL Action Bands patch. All of these (in versions used to build this version of Vide) can be found in Source/Dependencies.
You can change many Vide settings in Tools/Environment and Tools/Editor Properties.
If you change project type to DLL from other type, .dll file will not be generated . You must manualy change 'program' reserved word with 'library' word in project's active file.
Do not forget to add some serach paths in Environment/Paths menu. Additionaly default serch paths for both compilers are used. It is (COMILERROOT)\Lib for Delphi and (COMILERROOT)\units\win32 for Free Pascal.
