------------------------------
I would like find FbEdit updated by David "Cherry" Trapp, I have Ketil O 1.0.6.8, but Cherry is 1.0.78 I believe.
I am using *.fbp for a graphic project mix with some gui from windows9.bi, but I don't need Visual Design forms yet....
The secondary site of Cherry is dowm for some suspicious problems,
Do you have or know where I can get Cherry version ? I want the binary, because th ecompilation is giving so many errors..
I found it here https://www.freebasic-portal.de/downloa ... de-30.html
Thanks
Jose.

Try this link for GitHub
https://github.com/CherryDT/FbEditMOD

[aurelVZAB]

yes my is the smallest
i will see if i can modify my current version of AurelEdit for FreeBasic

[darwin4ever]

Try this link for GitHub
https://github.com/CherryDT/FbEditMOD

I can't find any Windows-install-packages for the "Original" FbEditMOD and the "Cherry-fork" FbEditMOD.
From the "Cherry" I only see the sources in above url

[RNBW]

I believe the link is the "Cherry" fork. You have to compile it using the Make file. You will also need to modify Make.ini for your own computer's configuration. It's a pity that there is not pre-owned compiled version.

[MrSwiss]

Latest FBEdit from KetilO original author, which is version 1.0.7.6c, is available in compiled form, from:
freebasic-portal.de the german FreeBASIC site.

Works like a charm since years, on various HW (WIN of course).
(IMO: the link should be updated to this: https://www.freebasic-portal.de/downloa ... de-30.html)

Mr Swiss
Thank you for the link (actually the latest, with the link I gave is 1.7.08a, but as I said you have to compile it). I shall have to find a way to download it from the German site. Unfortunately, my virus protection (ESET) always comes up with a detection of malware and stops a download. I doubt that there is malware, but I shall have to find another way to download it.

However, your link should serve darwin4ever's requirement.

[aurelVZAB]

I don't know where is a problem
on a given link is MasmEd exe ..or not?

[c-sanchez]

Added to list:
CSED-FB by marpon
cedit by VANYA

Merry Christmas guys.

I'm confused - I did provide a prebuilt download... Check the releases tab in GitHub or the latest release link on the right.

...okay, now I see the issue :-/ Years later!



Duh. OK, fixed, here is the link: https://github.com/CherryDT/FbEditMOD/r ... _Cherry.7z

Do you accept PRs?

[Cherry]

I don't actively maintain it (the last version has worked fine enough for me for years) but yeah sure go ahead ^^

[Imortis]

In that case, I may just fork it. No need to bother you if you don't intend to maintain it.

[yevrowl]

my editor is not visual..heh yes..but work
