- GEM-MicorEMACS 3.11a-beta3 (Apr 7 1992)
- ========================================
-
- features:
-
- o It is possible to change the font in the current-screen.
- Set $sres to <fontname>,<size>. (<fontname> and <size> must be seperated by a
- comma.
- o The initial-font can be set in the command-line using the --font switch. For
- example:
- gemme --font 'monaco mono,10' test.c
- sets the font to `Monaco Mono' with size 10 and loads the file test.c.
- Please note that `monaco mono,10' must be quoted, because it contains a
- space. Please note also that GDOS must be installed in order to set
- alternative fonts.
- This might be important because gemme calculates the maximal screen width/
- height after the initial-font.
- o It is now (since beta3) possible to set the maximal heigth and length
- of each screen with the --geometry switch. For example:
- gemme --geometry 80x25
- starts gemme with a screen of 80 columns and 25 lines (if it is
- possible to display them all).
- o It is not possible to have a larger screen than at the beginning of a
- session, e.g. if you switch to a smaller font it is not possible to have
- a window which covers the full screen. Therefore I recommend to set the
- font with the --font and/or the maximal width/heigth with the
- --geometry switch as described above.
- o It might be a good idea to define the following alias in your shell if
- you have a large screen.
- alias gemme="gemme.prg '-i$pagelen' 25 '-i$curwidth' 80"
- This shrinks the screen after starting gemme to 80x25. The difference to
- the --geometry-switch is the possibility in resizing the screen to the
- initial (possibly larger) size.
- o The window-size can be changed as described in the original documentation
- (also using the mouse). See file mouse.doc (taken from the
- documentation of MircroEMACS 3.10). The following additional features
- are availible:
- o A MS1-event is generated if you press both mouse-buttons (bound to
- mouse-resize-screen).
- o A MS0-event is generated if you select the `About-GEM-MicroEMACS'-menu-title
- (bound to about-MicroEMACS)
-
- changes:
- o the '-i$sres' command-line-switch is now replaced by the --font switch.
- '-i$sres' now does exactly the same thing as it would if you
- changed the $sres-variable with the set-command as first command.
- o The redrawing-concept has changed. MicroEMACS should now redraw a screen only
- when neccesary.
- o The text-cursor should now always be at the right position.
- o If running with accessories or under MultiTOS, MicroEMACS should now
- interprets a click on one of its windows correctly.
-
- bugs:
-
- o The redrawing is not as fast as possible.
- o For each screen there is a new v_opnvwk()-call.
- o There might still be some bugs in screen-redrawing.
- o The type-ahead-feature of MicroEMACS is not yet working correctly with
- gemme.
