Dear Occamists,

Having read the recent blurb on the forthcoming tds3 I though I should add a
small contribution.  We obtained a copy of the Ocpro editor enhancer from the
NTSC about two years ago.  We have found this a very useful addition to our
development enviroment for the following reasons :
  
  * Highlighted folds and keywords (colour settings available).  This is
    tremendously helpful in visualising the structure of your code.
  * Macros.  The user can define macro for all the alphabetic characters.
  * Vertical cursor.  This enables the user to check indentation.
  * Mouse support.  This allows the user to quickly traverse a fold
    structure.
  * Cursor Speed up.  A substantial speed up is obtained for the cursor, the
    standard speed being painfully slow.
  * Other features, the above being the most useful.
  * Cost - the cost of a floppy.

Perhaps these features are integrated into the new TDS3. If not I hope Ocpro
will still work with it.

I wonder who else, apart from some Navy people, are using Ocpro ?
