- Twilight Development System (TDS) provides an integrated environment
- for writing and compiling source files like Turbo Pascal or Borland
- C/C++. The main program of the package is a powerful text editor
- called Twilight Editor (Ted) which includes an integrated project
- manager. This project manager simplifies and speeds up the development
- of programs composed of different source files (modules). With TDS
- it's possible to compile and link these modules into an executable
- file with a single command and if the compiler finds some errors, they
- will be reported directly by the editor. TDS doesn't provide its own
- compiler, but can use any compiler or assembler callable from Shell.
- It can interface directly with many common compilers and assemblers
- like DICE C, SAS C, Lattice C, Aztec C, DevPac, A68k, PCQ, GNU-C,
- Amiga-E, Oberon and even programs like TeX, CatComp and MakeInfo. If
- the compiler is not supported, it's possible to write a little
- interface program to convert the error messages in a format readable
- by the editor. The compile process will be executed concurrently using
- another program called Twilight Make (TMake), so the user can continue
- to edit the source files while the compiler is working.
-
- To install TDS you can use the 'Installer' program from Commodore. To
- start the installation process simply double-click the icon called
- 'Install TDS' and follow the instructions. The installation script
- will modify your 'user-startup' to include an assignment to the
- directory containing the programs which will be called 'TDS:'. You
- have also the choice to install some example project files which will
- help you in building your own project files.
-
- If you don't have the 'Installer' program, then you can manually
- install the software creating a directory and copying there all files.
- Finally add an 'assign TDS: <your directory>' to the 'user-startup'.
