General questions

  • Someone recommended that I use General Edit Lite to fix a problem, but I can't make it work. Can you help me?

    Unfortunately, General Edit Lite is intended for use only by programmers, engineers, and other expert users. It should not have been recommended for use by the general public with third-party software or hardware. Because it is a free product, technical support is not available for General Edit Lite.

  • Will there be a version of General Edit for Linux or Windows?

    Others versions are under consideration. If you want to use General Edit on other platforms, please let us know: send mail to the address given here.

  • I haven't bought General Edit yet, and like to know more about what it can do. Where can I find the answers?

    If you still have questions, send mail to the address given here.

  • What does "Quadrivio" mean?

    It is an Italian word that means crossroads - a place where four roads meet.

Technical questions

  • General Edit isn't behaving the way I expected, or maybe there's a bug in the program. What should I do?

    Check here first, to see if more explanation or a work-around is available. If there's nothing here that helps, please tell us about it! Send mail to the address given here. It's most helpful if you can describe the exact sequence of steps to recreate the problem, including any structure definition that is involved.

  • How can I use General Edit to compare the contents of two files?

    General Edit has an Export Report command. You can use the text file produced by this command as input to any tool that does comparison of text files, such as the cmp shell command. Open the two files you want to compare and output reports, and then compare the text of the two report files.

Problem reports

  • General Edit Pro doesn't work with my Intel-based Mac.

    Try the latest version, 2.0.2.

  • Characters appear squeezed together when I switched to OS X 10.4

    Open the Preferences dialog and check the box labelled "Adjust Letter Spacing," then re-launch General Edit.

  • The file you selected cannot be updated

    This error message may appear if you attempt to use the General Edit 2.0.2 updater on the wrong version of General Edit. The updater can only work on one of the full commercial releases of version 2.x: 2.0, 2.0v2, or 2.0.1.

  • Comments do not behave as expected.

    If you write:

      if (x == 1)
      // comment here
      Int8 y;

    General Edit will not handle this correctly according to what you would expect from C: it treats the comment line as the statement that is controlled by the "if" statement and always includes "Int8 y" no matter what the value of x is.

  • In the structure pane, some of the open disclosure triangles have the shadow of a closed triangle behind them.

    A feature. This indicates that some of the corresponding corresponding triangles in the data pane are open and some are closed.
