Hi,

I don't have an anwser to this question, but since the code provided comes
in a NetBeans project enabled folder, and since netbeans is SUN's flagship
IDE, it would be nice to have those editor features provided by a NetBeans
module, i would also like to know if such module exist or if there are plans
for such features, (looking at the status of completeness of the Fortress
Project it would be hard to provide code completeness and other IDE features
that we are all used too, but i certainly hope this is a side project of the
team, down the road it will be necessary to support developers, with good
tools, if you take a look at  what seems to be number one contender of
Fortress right now Erlang it is deeply lacking in good easy to use tools for
development, plus the syntax makes me want to cry).

Anyway i looked at the code, it looks very clear, of good quality, i would
love to help out but unfortunately i am still a college student that does
not know much about creating your own parser/compiler, next semester i am
going to have compiler class perhaps after that I can provide some
assistance in coding some tools, or libraries. By the way this might be off
topic, i still can't read the kind of people that are members of this list
(distant academic people, or friendly next door helpful programmers), but
are there any good books or white papers that will make me understand all
this HPC stuff, i would love to help code up some answers but i really don't
understand the problems, so i need to do that first.

I am currently waiting for the compiler "Dragon book" to help me understand
how to build a compiler. A year ago i knew nothing about microcontrollers
and how to build your own hardware platforms, but now i build rockets with
telemetry, i can create a simple home console from scratch, all sorts of
neat stuff ... Maybe a year from now i will be writing my own
language/compiler (or help out in fortress), that would be cool anyway this
list might be too senior for these kind of comments if it is i apologize i
will simply stay quiet and try to learn something.
