Dylan support for GNU Emacs

This repository contains two Emacs packages installable from MELPA.

The dylan package (Dylan editing modes):

• dylan.el -- The dylan-mode major mode to edit Dylan code.
• dylan-opt.el -- The dylan-opt-mode minor mode to show compiler optimizations.
• dylan-lid.el -- The dylan-lid-mode major mode to edit LID files.

The dime package (Dylan interaction mode, an IDE derived from SLIME):

• dime.el -- Interactive development environment.
• dime-repl.el -- Read-eval-print loop.
• dime-browse.el -- Class browser.
• dime-note-tree.el -- Compiler note browser.

Setting up Dime

Dime relies on a backend, dswank. To configure Dime and dswank, add these lines to your .emacs file, changing YYYY.nn as appropriate for your installed release of Open Dylan::

(dime-setup '(dime-repl dime-note-tree))
(setq dime-dylan-implementations
      '((opendylan ("/opt/opendylan-YYYY.nn/bin/dswank")
                    :env ("OPEN_DYLAN_USER_REGISTRIES=/opt/opendylan-YYYY.nn/sources/registry"))))

You will also want to add your own source registries to the OPEN_DYLAN_USER_REGISTRIES environment variable. Registry paths are separated by semicolons on Windows and colons elsewhere.
