cannot find Compiler from Tool menu

[py]

Dera All,

I have downlowd TextPad version 4.5 to my machine with NT4 but I cannot find Compiler from Tool menu. I could before when I used Windows 2000.

Any reply would be highly appreciated.


Thank,

Maybe this could help.
On the menu bar, click on configure, choice prefrences. When you see another window pop up, click on the tool, and just add the compile to your textpad. If you see nothing in the add, maybe you need to install jdk into your program and set the path in the sysedit. So it could see your compiler. Hope this could help you..

here is a quick hack. go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Helios\TextPad 4\Tools\0 in the registry and for the command key enter in the full path to your javac (the one you would like to use).

example: c:\jdk1.3\bin\javac.exe

this worked for us. shouldn't affect your other programs since this is just a textpad setting.

I see nothing in the Add menu Drop Down Selection so I think I need to install jdk into my program and set the pat so it can see my compiler, but I do not know how to do this ? Help ?
