No, they just completly error the compiler, which is kind of annoying, the only way to avoid that is by using pragmas, but in doing that you get a pointless shell <_<

I'm happy to know you at least looked into cross-platform. It looks wonderful, I'd love the debugging myself.
Maybe it'd be possible to port it when you're done.
It may be, XPack (the core engine that deals with resourceforks and unpacking them and packing ) will not be portable, but the editors may
I am truly sorry to announce that iNova has been cancelled for different reasons. Well done, windows users (don't know if it's only/all these ones): your non-stop request came out like moaning, and was badly received :mad: . It would seem there were other causes, but the PC-b-ching was the worst of all
So, speaking for DaGekkoMan in this case, sorry for the high hopes. Let's just wish next time someone is kind enough to offer a new editor he/she doesn't get shunned for not making it cross-platform from the beginning. :unsure:
Once again, well done PCs
(I think that's enough right now After all, no Mac-PC debates)
Complaints weren't the only reason for cancelling it. I have 9 college assignments and 2 clients as well, which regardless to say, they are more important.
i'm sorry to all who were expecting a editor, and looking forward to it
That was abrupt.
How can complaining be so bad it can't be ignored? Were you being harassed via email or something like that?
I'd like to request you give it some time - you may later feel a want to pick it up again - or consider releasing the source or transferring it to another person who can continue work on it.
A lot of it was by eMail, but there is also the fact that i do have clients that i prodce programs for and a college course to get through, so with the constant complaining the stress levels can get a little high. I cut iNova as it was the least important, of all of them. Clients, well their paying. College is getting me a qualification to get in to Uni, so iNova went.
You windows users sholdn't complain so much seeing as you have EVNEW which just came out about 2-5 months ago. At least you have an editor, like Dagekkoman said,"there are a lot of windows only programs, doesn't that give the right to mac users to have mac only programs without window users complaning just because it's better." But oh well, the Development is cancelled, so there shall be no iNova :mad: . Sorry to the mac users whoes high hopes were put down.

Folks, I am starting to get sick of the MAC vs. PC bashing here... The main point of this board was to promote and aide DaGekkoMan in his work on iNova. I am quite sure that he is a mature and modest fellow and can overlook the bad emails from the good. As he stated and I am sure of this, his real main reasons have to be the real life commitments to college and school, and I for one support him on this. As for being cancelled, I'd never give up the ship... Instead I would prefer to consider it a postponement until maybe the summer. Now as for EVNEW being the main thing for windows users, I would have preferred a second myself. One of the limits I noticed for example involves the map plug-ins used in the port TCs of Classic and Override. I am amazed how Soviet Mikee's "EV Novarized" creates a plug that allows borders to be seen with govts., but can't be duplicated or made by EVNEW. My humble and personal opinion was to see iNova be successful as a MAC only version (which by the way has anyone beta tested it yet?) before making any personal requests to get it for PC. I also think that the "majority" of the windows users felt the same way too... so I hate to be labeled with the minority of non-adult PC users as a complainer, moaner, and shunner.

P.S. DaGekkoMan I feel can speak for himself. No need to be a spokesperson Pace/Haldora (and thanks for the nice note earlier, real mature ...)
I'll ask the mods to lock this before it escalates out of hand.
Look before any starts to jump to conclusions at me cancelling iNova, you have no idea what i am going through in life, yes what i told you is true but it is only part of the story. Windows users complaining which was only a few people, but persistant ones, was just the thing that topped it. Recently i have been under a lot of stress, and a difficult time. I would rather just forget about iNova. I may pick it up at some point, but i may and most likely will not.
If you think that just "tossing" aside 4 months work is easy then i welcome you to try it, but i am under a lot of stress, and my personal life is way more important than some little EV N editor, at least there are still servel very good editors, that will hopefully continue to be developed and made great.

For your info, it was the continuous "anti-discrimination" idea of some windows users that started this thing. Not all. But a few have been really immature (and yes, I could judge that).
The reason I posted that was because he wanted someone else to break the news. I am sorry if it seemed immature to you, but we had high hopes for this editor.
And you may call me Pace.
Bon Voyage, DaGekkoMan!
I do wish you had chosen to find a collaborator or go open source with your code, but I also see that taking one of those options meant that in a few months you might have found someone else crowing over "their" editor and not giving you enough credit for your work. Knowing how to work with others is a valuable skill... but so is knowing when to quit.
Anyway -- thanks for stirring things up around here! Perhaps we'll find out eventually that your screenshots and your descriptions of you efforts have jump-started the dreams of some other budding coder.

Thanks, Who knows maybe in a few months i may pick it back up, when and if my work load decreases, which is at the moment a lot. Something had to give and it was always going to be the least important thing. Seriously which would you drop, a paying job, college or iNova(which was earing no money for me) or forget about personal issues (and look like a completly heartless bastard)?
sorry if that offened anyone
