The problem is that someone added code to NEdit to try to interpret the values set in it for some GUI elements and it doesn't understand the SGI_DYNAMIC stuff and then falls back to the color black.

Stupid assholes. I am so sick of so-called "developers" doing nothing but break stuff, so they can add worthless crap. This is THE biggest problem for me with open sores. Great concept, some really good work in the beginning, followed up by a bunch of buffoons screwing everything up.

btw, would someone bomb google for me ? Those ignorant pieces of shit are ruining the web. We need pitchforks and torches and a march on what used to be SGI headquarters ...

Thanks for the tip for a Nekoware version of NEdit. I found that there was a 5.5 version packaged.

I probably made it :-) I remember struggling through that crap because I wanted "newer ! better!" but it mostly wasn't worth it. I think what I wanted was unicode, but don't remember if that ever worked. Irix doesn't deal well with dbcs and it's a pretty tricky subject. At least for a hack (not hacker, just plain old hack) like me.
