Hey, 3 things:

1) I did'nt say "it is not difficult", I said "not difficult like the other
points". This is different.
2) The whole message was not intended as a bug report, so don't you get
angry. My message was suggestions and ideas (clearly stated at the
beginning). I did not even mention the fact that folding functionality is
unuseable because a bug (I think I am not the only one who had seen this
error).
3) If this is your own way to put things, ok. I understand.

I am a programmer like you, and this means two things: first, I have a job
that takes away almost all of my time. Second, I know what I (and you) feel
when someone criticizes your work. We know very well.

For you to know, I would be very happy to help. I expressed this even before
in earlier messages, if you remember. Simply I don't have time right now -
may be the next year. There is more: I have read "the Ide cannot be compiled,
because it uses code not publicly available" (may be turbovision or whatever
it calls). If something has changed, let me know. If the Ide was a simpler
project, may be I could try, but I think I would loose more time just to
understand than to write something useful. The temptation is there... I
downloaded the Ide sources - if you tell me that I simply have to compile
(i.e. ppc386 fp.pas), I will put configurable keys in it. This is my bet.

Have a nice day, and long life to freepascal!
