BEDIT Version 2.4 Modifications
1. Version 2.3 displayed the cursor in red (and cyan on the opposite screen
side). Although it had a flashing underscore cursor, this evidently didn't
appear on some plasma screens. Some screens (also plasma) do not even show
highlighted text as do most b/w monitors.
I added a /B switch to the command line that invokes balck and white
(monochrome) mode. In this mode, I changed the main display to light-gray-
on-black with balck-on-light-gray (reverse video) cursors. I also added an
indicator on the top line that tells whether you are editing in hex or
ASCII mode. This is to assist those who cannot see the flashing underbar
on the active cursor. The active cursor flashes if the video system
supports the blink attribute.
2. It is too easy to save a file by pressing F2. You can write over a file
when you are not ready if you hit F2 by mistake.
I added a prompt when F2 is pressed that makes you confirm the save and
allows you to back out.
3. More than one user has said that I am not asking enough for BEDIT. Since
I feel that I have made the modifications and met the demands of most
who have contacted me, I am going to raise the price to $15. I think
this is still very affordable. At Parity Solutions, we want to offer the
best products at affordable prices so that you don't have to be a Fortune
500 comapny to use good software.
