Project
Xwpe is a programming environment for UNIX systems writen by Fred Kruse.
The user interface mimics the Borland C and Pascal family of products for
MS-DOS. From within xwpe you can edit, compile, and debug programs.
Unfortunately Fred Kruse seems to no longer be a member of the on-line
community.
The xwpe-alpha project was an attempt to continue development and bug fixes
for xwpe. Since attempts to contact the author of xwpe have received no
response, xwpe-alpha should be considered unsupported by Fred Kruse.
Development has stopped recently. Questions or comments should be directed
to
Dennis Payne (dulsi@identicalsoftware.com).
The last "official" version of xwpe is 1.4.2. To signify the change in
control the version number has increased to 1.5.x. Also xwpe-alpha
releases end in 'a' (e.g. 1.5.4a).
Development has stopped. Here are the original thoughts for future
development.
The original purpose behind xwpe-alpha was to reorganize the source code
to ease maintainence. This is still a goal for the future although a lot
of work has been done to improve stability. Here is a list of possible
future improvements.
The mailing list has been shutdown. Archives of the mailing list are available
here.
Xwpe 1.5.30a (source tar & gzipped)

Xwpe-X11 1.5.29a (Playstation2 binary rpm) [requires Xwpe 1.5.29a]
Note: Web browsers have a tendency to interpret the download files
as text and perform some conversions corrupting the files. On Netscape you
can hold shift and click on the link to directly download it. Lynx users
should press 'd' on the link. Internet Explorer and others I don't know but
try the Netscape solution.
