Apps/!StrongED/Changes

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

   Correction/Changes :
   --------------------

  1.5  'Goto' :
         it used to go one line too many, when going towards lower
         linenumber.(If you was at the last line,however, it
         worked correctly!)

  3.5  Corruption of first line in text :
         This would happen if current line was changed, and you did ^Z to get
         to the desktop. If you then dragged/double-clicked on a new file, this
         would load, but the first line in new file would be replaced by the
         'current line' I mentioned a couple of lines above.
         (I think this could happen when going to another textwindow, too)
         This is now corrected.

  3.5  Alter marked block with mouse :
         This is now possible.

  5.5  Text is now marked as changed, after a 'replace' (as in search & replace)

 12.5  "Editor$Path" changed to "StrongED$Dir"

 12.5  Dialouge-box :
         Escape is now same as click on cancel button.

 14.5  Load :
         Asks for confirmation if old text is changed.

  8.6  A press on f12 will now give you a * prompt, even if editor was not
         started from within desktop.

  9.6  You can now drag the slider in the scroll bar. It is a bit limited, but
         it works.
       Have also corrected a few bugs :
         One bug would corrupt the character definitions.
         Another could cause error when running editor several times

 10.6  You can now delete to start/end of line with ctrl shift <- / ->
       Have also implemented block move and delete ( shift f7 / f8 )

 12.6  Configuration:
         Have implemented a configuration file. With it you can decide which
         colours should be used in editor.

 28.6  You can now choose between four different tab-types. You cycle through
         them with shift-tab. You can also configure which tab-type you want
         with tabtype=0..3 ( 0=nearest, 1=tab2, 2=tab4, 3=tab8 ).

       Have also corrected some bugs in block delete/move and in tab
