Hi everyone,

I have finally released my m-tools package to the public. It has nice
functionality with some good documentation.
It can be found on a public mercurial repository at: https://bitbucket.org/dlw/m-tools
You will need to either clone it with hg, or download one of the
tarballs. In the future, I will probably host it on another hosting
site, like github or google code, and maybe with another technology,
like git or bzr.

About a year and a half ago, I sent Sam Habiel a much older version
of these tools for testing, and he asked if he could post them. The
version of my code that he has posted is obsolete and I will not
support it. I am planning on being more involved in what is going on
in these forums, and am available to help anyone wanting to use m-
tools.

The entire m-tools package was written by me, including the syntax
highlighting file. Because I don't really have any experience using
Caché, the package has been written to work with GT.M and Linux.
Specifically I have tested everything on Ubuntu and Red Hat/CentOS
distributions. Some or all of the tools may or may not work in other
MUMPS implementations or Operating System environments. YMMV

I have opened up the bug and feature tracking page on my bitbucket
account, and will try keep up with it. :-) I hope you all enjoy m-
tools.

Hi David,

Many thanks for sharing these tools. They are great.

We just installed them in the Virtual Machine that we
are using for distributing the VistA-FOIA release.


The "CTRL+K" feature for peeking at globals is great. :-)

We just posted a Wiki page about your tools at:

Thanks for Sharing.

That's great work. I use WinSCP which also has editor. But sure I
like to try the m-tools
Thanks

Hello all,

 I have a small announcement. I have changed the name of my M-tools
package of M/GT.M developer tools to Axiom. The URL has now changed to
https://bitbucket.org/dlw/axiom
If you go to the old URL, there will be a redirect link to the new
one. Nothing else has really changed with the package, though I have a
long list of features that
I will be adding in the coming months. :-)

 This change was prompted by my recent discovery that Joel Ivey calls
his Eclipse plugin for MUMPS, M-Tools. https://github.com/OSEHR/M-Tools
I have known
about his plugin, though never used it, for several years. But I did
not know what its name was. And since he named his first, I feel
obligated to change mine, so there
is no confusion in the community.

 Anyone who was previously following my M-tools package on
bitbucket.org, will need to go to my Axiom page and re-follow the
package, now that it is hosted in
a new repository.

Thank you.
