aplac-mode v0.30a

released 24 September 2002.

This is a major (x)emacs editing mode for editing APLAC input files. It is based on eldo-mode v1.0 but has been hacked to work with APLAC keywords etc.

Many of the nice things I've seen in eldo-mode are disabled for now, but are still in the code for possible re-incarnation in future. It's definitely not finished, but right now it's quite useable.

If you have any comments or suggestions for improving aplac-mode, please send e-mail to Brennan.

Eldo simulator colorizing script:

Tired of scrolling through pages of Eldo output and not finding interesting information?

You can use the coloreldo PERL script to parse and color the output of eldo runs. It assumes a terminal with dark background but this can easily be changed. It is a modified colormake package.

Send bug fixes or improvements to Manu. Please read the README/INSTALL file in the package to install and use coloreldo.
