// History - From Version 2.15
V2.16 - A limited release copy adding font selection. Also added file modify date size to status bar.
V2.17 - Full release for font selection and status bar additions in V 2.16 with updated Help. Fixed a problem where the 'TEMP' directory was set to a network drive and file being edited was on a read-only drive, the file would not be opened.
V2.18 - Added Reset Font option on View menu to allow setting fonts back to default values.
V2.19 - Added Add and Remove Indents menu items to the Edit Menu. Fixed problems with cutting and pasting of large amounts of text (bigger than approx 12K).
V2.20 - Added read only support, drag and drop, selection of multiple files at once from the open file dialog, line & column number display, Hex Insert/Delete, Hex Find and multiple file specifications on command line.
Modified tab settings dialog to allow Tab Stops and use of space characters. Changed menu item
of New Window to Duplicate Window on the Window Menu.
Add F2/CTRL F2 indications on bookmarks menu items (Already worked with F2/CTRL F2 but not indicated on menu).
V2.20a - Fixed minor problems:
1) Using Windows NT and editing a binary file may cause a GPF if a line exists of several kilobytes without a LF/CR.
2) If loading a large binary file without LF/CR and paging down when not in Hex mode a GFP may occurr.
3) With dual windows on a single file, updated file pointers on the inactive window so that when returning to that window the curor position is in the same relative position as when it was left.
4) Drag and Drop did not expand the MEDIT window if a file was dropped onto it and MEDIT was minimized.
5) In Hex Find, a 00 terminates the find string. Also the last byte of a HEX find was ignored.
With exception to the Drag and Drop issue, all of the above problems were found with my own extended testing and have not been reported by any users.
V2.20b - Fixed a problem of FIND not finding the search string on long files under certain conditions.
V2.20c - Fixed a Divide by zero problem with print preview. Also saved state of status and tool bars. Closed help file if left open (only happened occasionly). Puts dialog box up if trying to cut or paste over 64K. Allows multiple CTRL+M sequences for playing macros without the need to release the control key between instances.
V2.21 - Added multiple items to the Tool Bar including find, find next, replace, Word-Wrap, HEX toggle and print preview. Added page setup under file menu to allow margins, headers and footers. Added Goto to go to line number (or address in HEX mode). Made Word-Wrap a permanent setting. Allow cut/copy/paste of unlimited size (subject to amout of virtual memory available). Added page-break.
V2.21a - Added ICON, thanks to Paul Rabinowitz. Fix to minor problem with find next when used for the first time in a window without bringing up the find dialog in the active window.
