I have to edit InstallScript code which is the languange used by InstallShield.
I would like to use emacs but I can't find a good mode for it. I use C-mode
by default which does OK with some syntax highlighting but the indentation
is all wrong because of the installscript language sturcture.
e.g.
function <functionname>()
STRING st1
NUMBER nr1
BOOL b1
begin
if something then
stuff
endif;
<other things>
endif;
Does anyone know of a mode that might be helpful here. Or at least, a
way to disable the autoinending in C-mode so I can use syntax
highlighting but use tabs a la text-mode. Thanks a lot.
John

Does anyone know of any other language that even has this kind syntax
which might work better than c-mode? Thanks.
