I just wanted to point out that an IDE to develop applications in
Unix like environment is not a good idea. So what you regarded as
an unhelpful reply is infact a pointer to a better strategy (in
the long run).

It is a BAD mistake to reinvent the Windows environment in
Unix. It is better to learn tools that will hold not only today
but also tomorrow and in Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, MacOS/X,
AIX, HP/UX etc.

In the Unix environment you very often have to amend programs
located on other machines than your own. (It might have
a nother operating system).

We at Raditex have for exampel a small network demonstration
program, that runs in Windows. What happens is that we had to
set aside one computer with Windows95. One computer with Windows98,
one computer with WindowsNT, one computer with Windows 2000 and
one computer with WindowsXP. Then we have to run like rats between
those mashines to test the application. This is NOT an environment
for a professional programmer...
