-
- * The first "beta" version was incomplete and should be discarded.
-
- Beta2 was correct but contained a non-fatal unsaved document print
- bug that was fixed in the beta3 version.
-
- Beta3 added word wrap and a page margin setup facility.
-
- Beta4 added case sense selective searches and command line parameter
- associative file opening.
-
- Beta5 added title and page number output to the print spooler,
- searches that scan the entire document in one operation to go to a line
- number and/or find text, and a direct go to end of document feature.
-
- Beta6 added a replace feature to be used with search. Also an
- intermittently fatal bug in backward searches through huge documents has been
- fixed. And a non-fatal bug in go to end of a huge document when in wordwrap,
- has been fixed.
-
- Version 1.0 added a file run with association menuitem, a modifiable
- title output to the print spooler, and proper size and initial position of
- the position box on an 800x600 display.
-
- Version 1.1 added default filespec enhancement to the Open and Run
- dialog boxes. Also if the display driver sets a larger height for the menu
- bar to accommodate 8514 fonts, then larger (26 pixels high) pushbutton
- menuitems are shown. A non-fatal bug of line count after a huge forward
- search was fixed. Finally, a powerful automatic find and replace function
- was added.
-
- Version 1.2 fixed a non-fatal bug in the automatic replace all
- command. An icon file was included for better contrast on monochrome
- displays.
-
- Version 1.3 fixed a fatal memory allocation bug that showed up when
- operating in stressed disk swapping situations. Also the maximum number of
- characters on a line is limited to 1024.
-
- Version 1.4 added a file merge function to allow the insertion of a
- text file anywhere into the current document. File open and file merge can
- insert carriage return line feed pairs as necessary to format the document.
-
- Version 1.5 fixed a fatal local memory allocation bug that showed up
- if Notebook was minimized when in word wrap mode with a file larger than 20
- kilobytes loaded. Also a non-fatal global allocation bug on associative file
- open in word wrap mode was fixed to allow a file of any size to be completely
- read in word wrap mode.
-
- Version 1.6 added word wrapped output to the print spooler, tab-stop
- spacing became user selectable, and a bookmark function. Also a non-fatal
- backward scroll display bug was fixed.
-
- Version 1.7 added the editing of control codes, the copying of text
- from the main edit window to the search or replace buffers, and the scrolling
- through text fields by keystroke.
-
- Version 1.8 added an extended file delete function with confirmation,
- an edit select all function with the capability of huge copy, cut, paste,
- delete and undo operations, and a file merge that can be undone. Changes in
- the edit control code function eliminated an unshared tight loop during the
- translations and allowed a keyboard escape. Also a fatal defect in canceling
- printer output to a file was fixed.
-
- Version 1.9 added an initial size and position feature to allow the
- beginning Notebook window size and position to be user defined. A replace
- all function defect that showed up with documents larger than 64k if the
- replace string was bigger than the find string was repaired. A repeated
- find function defect of truncating the find and replace strings to fifteen
- characters was also fixed.
-
- Notebook version 1.A adds a File Print Selection command to allow
- only selected text of the document to be sent to the print spooler. The
- File Print All command sends the entire document to the print spooler. The
- possibility of sending two consecutive NEWFRAME type Escapes to the printer
- driver which causes the printer to abort task is eliminated.
-
- Again constructive feedback determined what features were to be
- added to this version. Thank you.
-
- Notebook.exe is bundled with a help file called notebook.hlp,
- several useful icon files including one for black and white displays called
- notebkbw.ico, and this file called noteinfo. This is Notebook version 1.A
- which has the label "1.A" right aligned on the menu bar.
