Programmer's File Editor
What is PFE?
According to the documentation that is included with the Programmer's File Editor,
Programmer's File Editor (PFE) is a large-capacity text file editor, oriented towards
those who use Windows as their program development environment, and so incorporates many
features that make it a convenient work management system. Although it's primarily
oriented to program development, it makes a very powerful general editor for any purpose
at all.
Compiling
The Programmer's File Editor can launch the compiler and capture it's messages. To
launch the compiler select DOS Command to Window from the Execute
Menu. You will get a dialog box like the one below:
Put
ipc %f
in the Command field. If ipc.exe is not installed in a directory in
the path then you have to specify the path to ipc.exe. If you are unsure
about how to specify the path then you can use the ... button on the
right to locate ipc.exe.
Put
%u\%d
in the Directory field.
Click on the OK button when done. The Programmer's File
Editor will launch the compiler and capture it's output messages in a window. You can then
examine the messages and correct any errors detected by the compiler and compile again.
The current window must be a normal window rather than the special compiler output capture
window before you can launch the compiler.
After you have found all the errors in your program you can launch the interpreter to
execute it. To launch the interpreter select Launch Application
from the Execute Menu. You will get a dialog box like the one
below.
Put
ivm %n
in the Command field. If ivm.exe is not
installed in a directory in the path then you have to specify the path to ivm.exe.
If you are unsure about how to specify the path then you can use the ...
button on the right to locate ivm.exe.
Put
%u\%d
in the Directory field.
Click on the OK button when done. The Programmer's File
Editor will launch the interpreter and pass it the filename (with no extension) of the
file in the current window.
