Hi, I have uploaded EDIT 0.6e now. As suggested by Jim, speaking
for Joe, on 18 Nov 2003, I can take over as new maintainer for EDIT
for a while starting with this version (well... 0.6b-0.6d were provided
by me, too, so...). Note that EDIT consists of almost 16000 lines of
code (most of them from DFlat) so do not expect any wonders from me.

Improvements since 0.6d:
The special tab-expansion remainders are now completely #ifdef'ed out,
so Arkady should be happy (no special 0x8c / 0x89 treatment anymore,
0x8d / 0xa0 no longer called whitespace by prev/next word hotkeys).
I have fixed the drive selection in fileopen.c/direct.c (drive letter
is 3rd in string, not 1st). If YOU can tell me how to highlight the
current list (either filespec, filelist, dirlist or drivelist), tell
me. Would look better.
The "crash on shift-backspace" bug turned out to be a quite generic bug
if you tried to work with selections which have the "end" before the
"beginning" (which is allowed while you resize selections). Fixed.
If you try to close a window with unsaved changes and then select "yes"
in the wanna-save-before-closing box and THEN the save fails, you are
asked the wanna-save-before-closing again and end up in save AS dialog
if you select "yes" again. You get the idea.

Open problems: Alt-Backspace and Ctrl-Insert (UNDO and COPY) are not
available for the BIOS (at least in DOSemu!), so you must use Ctrl-Z
and Shift-Shift-Insert or Ctrl-C for now. An int 15.4f handler to fix
this would be an appreciated contribution.
You cannot type the ASCII codes (neither with Ctrl-letter nor with
Alt-digits) for Ctrl-C/X/V/Z nor for backspace or ASCII 0, and you
cannot control line break style (CR and/or LF) yet. All other ASCII
codes in the 1 .. 31 area should be "typeable" in this version .
What would you prefer as a solution: 1. Detecting that Alt-digits is
not Ctrl-letter or 2. allowing Ctrl-P anychar sequences to type any
char? I think 24 out of 32 control codes typable is not bad, so you
may even be happy with 0.6d/e already.

A fun feature would be an ASCII chart popping up if you press Ctrl-P
and vanishing again if you type (or click!?) any key after that (which
would type that key into your text). If you want to contribute one...?

So have fun with the newest EDIT 0.6e!


Cheers, Eric.
