GedEdit modifications log
**************************************************************************
BETA modifications:
Aug 5/94
Changed version number to 1.01
------------------------------
Modified function key prompt display to show regular function keys
unless the 'Alt' key is pressed, upon which the Alt-key function
prompts are displayed. Releasing the 'Alt' key restores the previous
prompt display.
Debugged some logic that was making addition/deletion functions to the
header structure (0 HEAD) redisplay strangely.
Changed registration (beg) screen display. Provided 1-800 phone
number for Credit Card purchases. Provided non-800 number for
inquiries.
Aug 4/94
Added routine that empties the keyboard buffer after every 'F4-delete
record' function is performed. Eliminates unwanted machine-gun deletes
experienced by some faster hardware.
July 12/94
Modified edit mode paging to check record count before ordering a new
page for current structure when page full and PgDn/DownArrow is pressed.
July 5/94
Corrected fault in INDI/FAM lists (Alt-I/Alt-F) where lists would fail
to add to chain if one or more individual/family structures (other than
the one selected) are missing from the GedCom.
July 4/94
Add structure '@Xnnn@' number generation logic modified from '1+total
number of these structures' to '1+the number used in the last entered
structure of this type'. Allows for missing structures.
GEDED1D.ZIP (beta) released to BandMaster BBS 1:153/7715, Vancouver,
B.C. Canada file area NEW. First public release (beta pre-release).
Modified 'Add Structure ->Submitter structure' logic to improve
operational speed.
July 3/94
Added point-and-shoot menus for all INDIviduals and FAMilies in the
current .WRK file. Alt-I displays INDIvidual menu. Alt-F displays
FAMily menu. Updated help screens.
Added alternate prompt bar display. If the 'ALT' key is pressed the
prompt bar displays functions controlled by the 'Alt' and 'Ctl' keys.
July 1/94
added file index logic to (F7) Add Structure function (INDI and FAM
structure types only).
June 30/94
Fixed bug in Search [replace option] that occurred in multiple page
structures when 'Ask first?' prompt is answered 'Y'.
June 29/94
Added ALT-F5 function key. Displays scrollable 'GoTo' menu of chained
structures.
June 26/94
Added logic to allow up-arrow and down-arrow keys to pagenate. Up
arrow key will page to last line of previous page/structure. Down
arrow key will page to 1st line of next page/structure.
Revised beg screen.
June 25/94
Fixed incorrect level insertion when using 'F2 CONT'.
Family Report mods:
Modified logic to handle long (+95 line) structures.
Removed '@Xnnn@' cross-reference labels from report body.
Top of page filing keys reformatted. Full name at left margin, Fnn
reference at right margin.
Changed logic to allow for extra long names. If the name is long
enough to be truncated by the Occupation field, then the name is
given the entire line and the Occupation field is moved to the next
line.
June 24/94
Enhanced compatibility to handle 'long-winded' structures. Eliminated
maximum lines-per-structure restriction of 100. Current version should
read any size GedCom containing structures of any size having line
length of not more than 256 characters, including label and tag.
Added 'End edit session?' prompt when escape pressed during edit mode.
Added function halt if escape pressed during search or replace.
June 23/94
Enhanced compatibility to handle up to 256 characters per GedCom input
line. (5.3 standard=level+tag+maximum 247 chars). GedEdit will reformat
overlength input to 80 characters per line maximum with overflow going
to CONT record on next lines(s). Reformatting is done during first
load as a background operation (transparent to the user).
Modified replace function to allow keyword search phrase to end with a
'*' wildcard. (See STRIP.DOC)
Modified GoTo. User input box no longer needs to be ended with '@'.
Added Ctl-PgUp hot key in editor to GoTo start-of-file. Restarts
series of chained records. Current version (1B) discards previous
chain.
Added Alt-F6 control to search (find) function. If Alt-F6 is pressed
instead of F6, keyword search will start at top-of-file.
Revised help screens and menu. Deleted 'Done' help. Added function 'keys'
help.
June 22/94
Wrote STRIP.DOC as a demo-type tutorial for global search and replace.
June 21/94
Modified find(F6) to chain similar to GoTo. Reduced maximum number of
chained structures to 5000. Installed FIFO (First in, First out)
buffer to chaining procedure. FIFO kicks in at 5000 links. (Drop link
1, add link 5000). Done to accommodate future version enhancements.*
(*On the workbench: 2-way movement through the chain, Multiple chains,
search/replace within chains, save/load chain macro, Export chain to
*.GED, Import chain, etc.)
Added 'where-am-I meter' to Global search and replace 'working...'
message.
Determined current version blows its lid during a search if target
found in a structure with more than 4 screenfull of data. GedComs in
CLARK.ZIP not compatible at this date due to large structures.
Improved shell to dos function. Version 1A required COMMAND.COM in root
directory. Version 1B gets the path from DOS.
June 20/94
Modified edit mode Reports to toggle on if current field contains
an x-reference label. (Can print FAM report from INDI structure).
Added global Search/Replace with toggles for global, case
ignore and ask first controls.
June 19/94
Changed help screens to reflect GedEdit vs GEDIT.
added aditional GoTo help screen explaning chaining function.
added ability to print reports from edit mode. (F9 key)
fixed bug that truncated last n kids where kids>8 in GedEdit Family
Report.
Added sanitary exit with prompts if Disk Space <5000 bytes.
during initial load. (Disk Full).
Added Reports help screen to edit mode help.
Added default GoTo x-reference label. If the current line being edited
contains an x-reference label and F5(GoTo) is pressed, the GoTo window
will contain that label. Pressing ENTER displays the structure.
June 18/94
Restricted maximum number of structures that may be 'chained' during
edit mode to 9000. 9001th stucture becomes 9000, chained to 8999th, etc,
ad-infidentum. Done to avoid potential stack overflow when editing
large ( >9000 structures) GedCom files. Does not affect any other
editing, file handling or reporting functions. Will probably never be
needed.
June 17/94
Changed all brown-on-cyan displays to yellow-on-black displays.
Added expiry notice beg screen.
Linked fast-find logic into Edit-mode GoTo (FAMily or INDIvidual) logic.
Modified PgUp to chain backward through last sequence of GoTo's.
Modified Family ID user input display to default to last displayed GoTo
Family or last Family Report printed, whichever is last.
Added 'not found' prompt if Edit-mode search does not find search string.
Added default to last value logic to Edit-mode search string.
June 16/94
modified IDX/FDX get_structure procedure to sequential search index
if initial index read does not find correct key (key out of sequence).
Reports no longer searches *.WRK file. Displays a prompt if a record
is missing.
June 15/94
GEDIT Ver 1.1B renamed to GedEdit Ver 1.0
modified display to always reflect person count, family count and free
diskspace.
Added 'F8=Shell' to prompt bar and coded shell to DOS using editor hot key
F8.
Modified documentation to reflect new name.

display.
June 12/94
