cb = "cured bug"
 5 Mar 95: directory menu now can sort by name or date or size or not at all.
 3 Mar 95: copy-directory-to-kill now includes total bytes.
27 Feb 95: cb: corrections re magic `/'.
           added function formatinsetregion.
24 Feb 95: cb: in fold-long-lines mode a coloured region ended 1 char short if
           it was to end at eol.
20 Feb 95: cb: magic search: if alternative reached |, looped looking for ].
15 Feb 95: cb: reformat adding blank line after word longer than allowed width.
15 Feb 95: red arrow in info line 2nd char if any text off left edge of screen.
 9 Feb 95: cb: reformat not splitting overlong last line in file if without CR.
 8 Feb 95: I put mouse in getstring().
           cb in displaying an orange `m' in mousing mode with > 1 window.
           I added a menu of macros, bound to alt#.
 5 Feb 95: cb: literalchar: in mousing mode aborted on mouse-move & button-down.
 3 Feb 95: I put breakin() in checkspelling in case checking a word loops.
 1 Feb 95: cb: sometimes dir menu cursor flew back to current buffer unwanted.
           cb in check spelling: infinite recursion in trying remove/add `-e'.
24 Jan 95: More mouse work.
           cb: region.movetext() carried the start-defining mark with the text.
20 Jan 95: I finally got the mouse properly in.
           cb: buffermenu > new buffer > dir-menu returned wrong buffer.
20 Dec 94: I tried to put extra features in read-a-char, & thus found again that
            keeping on calling typahead() makes PC deaf sometimes to some keys.
20 Dec 94: cb: rep() now exits setting a flag, not longjmp (which caused error).
19 Dec 94: cb: inserted omitted `deletion' submenu link in menu.
 8 Nov 94: cb: line=int sometimes caused a segment violation on making a line
            longer (I was copying the new line length always).
26 Oct 94: I had to comment out the line `_ax=0x1f; int33();' in MAIN.CC
            (deactivate mouse driver) as with a new mouse it jammed tight.
13 Oct 94: I found that `x=44; is x==44?' (x is a graph screen byte) to test if
13 Oct 94:  graphical screen is there (to check for bad mode) is buggered up by
13 Oct 94:  optimization, so MAIN.CC had to be recompiled without optimization.
13 Oct 94:  (PS. 8 Nov 94: I have rewritten that line in assembler code.)
12 Oct 94: recompiled in Gnu C++ version 2.6.0, & resulting needed alterations.

19 Sep 94: improvements to FINDMODE.CC
19 Sep 94: cb in menu of commands: sometimes no pointer on entering a submenu.
13 Sep 94: now auto-checks for text mode & >=80 chars wide, so no need to state
            available modes in file INFODATA. But no check for colour/mono.
13 Sep 94: work on menu. Altered help so it doesn't reread help files each call.
12 Sep 94: added menu of commands, bound to alt=

26 Apr 93: cb: prbuffer() was not putting ';' on end of line.
