Introducing Qedit/UX Version 4.4
* Highlights
* Compatibility
* Known Problems
* CPU Serial Number (uname)
* Documentation
* Documentation in WinHelp format
Qedit/UX is a full-screen editor for programmers of HP-UX systems
(workstations and minicomputers). Qedit is a development home
base that is fast and efficient. Our goal is to provide every
facility that a programmer might need, so that he or she can stay
in Qedit all day. Every year we update Qedit with a number of new
features and fixes requested by users. In this change notice, you
will find a description of Qedit's new features and how to use
them, a list of other changes, as well as detailed steps for
installation. Qedit is also available for MPE, with virtually
identical features. Contact us if you are interested.
Highlights in Version 4.4
* ADD position string creates a line with a string after an
indicated position.
* Qedit renumbers existing lines to make room for new lines, if
you have not done Set Vis Renum Off.
* Qedit Help files now come in Windows WinHelp format.
* Set Terms Columns nnn adjusts the display width of your
terminal.
Browse Mode
* Text file,Browse copies a file into Qedit, but will not let you
modify it.
* Open file,Browse also opens a Qedit workfile, but prevents you
from editing it.
* Browse mode protects you from making unplanned changes to a
file and does not update the Mod-Date of the file.
Edit Several Files at Once
* Qedit can supply up to eight extra scratch files.
* Do Text filename,New or TJ filename to create an extra scratch
file for a file you are Texting.
* The New command without parameters creates an extra scratch
file for a new document that does not yet have anything to
Text.
Improvements to the Open Command
* Set Open Defer On enables "deferred write access" in the Open
command.
* Open filename,Defer and Open filename,Nodefer override Set Open
Defer.
* Verify Open shows you the nine most recently Opened files.
* Open? lets you select which of the recently opened files to
Open.
* Open *-1, *-2, and so on, opens the recently accessed file of
your choice.
* When you do an Open command from the Home line in Screen mode
or from the Next command? prompt, Qedit immediately displays
the current screen of the new file.
Screen Mode Improvements
* Reflection for Windows 5.0 now supports up to 512 columns.
* Set Vis Buf increases or decreases the size of the screen
buffer.
Compatibility
Qedit/UX is compatible with HP-UX 8.0 and 9.0.
We have made a few changes that are incompatible with earlier
versions of Qedit/UX.
Now Assume You Don't Have a Type Ahead Engine
To make Qedit Screen mode work with Telamon's Type Ahead Engine,
you must now do Set Vis Tae On (the default is now Off). The
default in Qedit used to be Set Vis Tae On, which meant that Qedit
assumed you had a Telamon TAE. Set Vis Tae On causes Qedit to
send ^A "V" on entry to Screen mode and ^A "A" on exit. Some
non-TAE users saw the "V" or "A" on their screens. The default is
now Off, since many users have terminal emulators with type ahead
capability.
Automatic Renumber
In the Add command Qedit now automatically renumbers to make room
for lines, unless Set Vis Renum is Off. In the past Qedit would
generate an error if there were not enough line numbers. If you
need the old logic in some batch job or command file, you can
disable automatic renumber by doing set vis renum off.
CPU Serial Number (uname)
This program will only run on the CPU serial numbers for which it
has been encoded (the "uname" on HP-UX). If it fails to run and
you see an "invalid HPSUSAN" error message, call Robelle for
assistance.
Known Problems
None.
Documentation
Extra printed copies of the Qedit user manual can be ordered
directly from Robelle or one of its distributors. A version of
the revised user manual is available in the Help file. It
contains information on all new Qedit features.
Documentation in WinHelp Format
The Qedit for HP-UX and Qedit for MPE user manuals are now
available in the popular Microsoft Windows WinHelp file format. A
self-extracting file with all Help files and a Setup program has
been included on your tape. Use the installation instructions to
install the WinHelp files on your PC.
