I was thinking the same 
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I hope you like drawing pictures; I don't know how you pull it off otherwise.

I don't, but I suppose I will have to do a good bunch of schemata.

Hi All,
I am having fun (for me) working on developing a temperature monitor for some bits of kit we have that don't have one, Crack the knuckles, Design the PCB & write the code for the PIC in C on Notepad++... No Intellisense, no way of quickly checking syntax programming like it was meant to be!

Notepad++ is a luxury editor. You should use vi instead.

No, use Punched Cards (without an interpreter) or paper tape. I have an 8-pin paper tape holder complete with a pin for punching the holes individually that you can borrow. I got it after I used to make my own by cutting strips of paper and using different size knitting needles for the data holes and the sprocket holes.

Well done! You are Yorkshireman #2. Still waiting for the next two

Probably the last time someone saw an update that actually really solved a problem.

He's working in a Microsoft environment - he needs to use Edlin.

I simply can't imagine how I used to do programming without Intellisense. Then again, my office used to have several thick reference books that were always open and printouts of tech sheets on the hardware and microprocessors I was often working with. How things have changed.

I think I was one the last old school programmers, C (North C) on an Amiga 500 (2 Disk drives & 512K upgrade!). Once you got to be able to translate the 'almost' UNIX error messages  , I wasn't too bad...
Visual Studio and the like made us lazy!

Me too. Keepin' it real.
No Visual Studio on OpenVMS.

Nice. That's how I do it, except I wrote my own little IDE so at least I can compile by clicking a button.
Visual Studio slows me down.

Power shell IDE's are for weaklings!
Off Topic I have written a test routine for some stepper motors that cause them to play the imperial march!
