     ====================================================================


     
     CHANGES V2.1

      1. Added screen and colors. 
      2. Added autosave option.                    
      3. ON/OFF option for requester prompts.
      4. Editor highlights changes.
      5. Editor Accepts standard keyboard mappings. 
      6. Added a file-position sliding bar gadget.
      7. Added cruise control.
      8. Added a filerequester for PRINT and OPEN.
      9. Option for HEX search.
     10. Option for case sensitivity (string search).
     11. Search jumps automaticly to the editor if a match occurs.
     12. Rewrote some of the program-structure to accommodate the new 
         changes. 



     (2) AUTOSAVE is simply an option that will, if you have made any 
     changes to a record, automaticly save the new changes (first asking 
     you if that's ok, of course) when MOVING to a new record. 

          
     (3) The ON/OFF OPTION FOR REQUESTER PROMPTS lives up to the name. 
     One word of caution though, if AUTOSAVE (2) is turned on and (3) is 
     turned off, FEDUP wont ask whether you want to save the changes or 
     not (in fact, it will never ask you about anything. It will simply 
     remain in the darkness. At the edge of dawn. Laughing at you whenever 
     you do something really wild). Use it carefully. 

          
     (7) CRUISE CONTROL = STRL (Something Textcraft Really Lacks). 

          
     (9) HEX SEARCH does (more or less) what it is supposed to do. 
     At the prompt, enter the key in hex notation (ie. "ff,FF;aB 1A1B", 
     and so on: FEDUP doesn't care how you enter it (ie, the delimiter) 
     as long as the values are 2 digits long (ie. "A1A1", "A1 A1", 
     "A1,A1", etc)). 
     
     
     (10) CASE SENSITIVE SEARCH is now possible (wow!) when you're 
     searching for a string (and only when you're searching for a 
     string- you really don't have to bother to use that option at
     all if your sole purpose and primary destination is a simple 
     HEX search). 
     
     
     (12) Pretty obvious. 
     


     SOME FINAL NOTES

     You may terminate SEARCH and PRINT by pressing ESC. 
     If a file R/W error (also applies to PRINT) is detected, click on 
     the CANCEL gadget to resume operation. If you select OK, FEDUP 
     will terminate itself (think of it more like a "OK - the error finally
     caught me after all. I might as well give up. Where's the gun?", 
     and "Eh, let's just pretend that this never happend... and CANCEL 
     the error"). 
     

     Suggestions, comments and so on are actually appreciated. 
     If you find any bugs, please let me know about them. Enjoy.
