The XBase development environment that adapts to your needs

Evolve is a wrap-around shell for Multi-Edit that understands your XBase programming language. It watches as you work, adjusting itself to your style. EVOLVE automates many of the tedious programming chores that take up too much of your time. Code is automatically expanded and commented; source files are located for you; database structures are manipulated with the touch of a key.... And, of course, you get all the benefits of Multi-Edit, the best programmer's editor on the market!

Kick your development cycle into warp drive with these time saving features:

Function Writer Creates functions, with or without headers, from marked blocks of code, replaces the block with a call to the function, reindents created function as well as same-line commenting if entered.

Function Browser Point at a command line and browse through functions with a single keystroke, scan through various classes and methods within classes, edit as well as "view-only" modes, extended mode allows browsing of buffers or entire applications, browser menu for later reference.

Hierarchical Search Locates referenced source and displays the "Object" for viewing or editing (allows Multi-Edit to locate and source file, loaded or not), supports reference editing of header files in #INCLUDE statements.

Coordinate Processing System Position and size frames and windows using Multi-Edit's block-mark facility, then translate marked display into window coordinates with a single keystroke.

Adaptive Observation Significant keystrokes are constantly monitored to provide automatic template expansion of procedures, commands and functions, highlights code within matching braces as they are closed.
