University of Vaasa, Finland, Sun IPX sparcstation garbo.uwasa.fi
has a large collection of PD and shareware PC programs available by
anonymous ftp or mail server. The file /pc/ts/0news-ts contains news
about the TS-programs in the /pc/ts directory (in reverse order).
This text, which you now have, is an extract from the 0news-ts file.

Sat 18-Apr-92: I have updated my collection of QEdit editor macros
and key definitions to be garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsqed16.zip. I added
one macro to scroll the text in two windows up or down in
synchronization. Like for the rest of the macros the need for it
came out of practice. To use these macros you naturally must be
using SemWare's QEdit shareware editor, version 2.10 or later. It is
available as garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/editor/qedit215.zip. You will also
need the macro translator garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/editor/qmac215.zip.

Sat 28-Mar-92: Updated my collection of QEdit editor macros and
utilities. It is now garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsqed15.zip. I added the
rot13.qma macro to rotate and unrotate a block of text.  Rot13
rotation is often used as an elementary encryption technique for
public but somehow sensitive texts.

Wed 1-Jan-92: Updated my collection of QEdit editor macros and
utilities to be garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsqed14.zip.  This is a minor
update that corrects a bug in the DATE.QMA macro for inserting the
date with the month given as letters instead of numbers. The macro
confused the month and the day number for certain dates.

Thu 26-Dec-91: I have updated my collection of QEdit editor macros
and utilities. It is now garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsqed13.zip. I have
added:
   DATE.QMA for entering the month in the date function as three
letters, not as a number (see the date format of this announcement).
I got the idea from Jonathan McRobert's similar EQdit macro. The
logic and the programming in tsqed13.zip are, nevertheless, entirely
my own. At the same time I improved (hopefully) the documentation in
the other macros in my package.
   PASCAL.QMA for compiling and analyzing a Turbo Pascal program
easily from within Qedit.  For the compilation you need Borland's
Turbo Pascal compiler (any version 4.0 - 6.0). One advantage of this
method is that you will be able to compile larger programs with this
method than with Turbo Pascal's integrated development environment
(the IDE). The IDE size can be a real problem especially with TP
6.0. If you also want to make the program analysis then you'll need
TurboPower Software's Structure Analyst in addition.
   CRYPT.QMA for encrypting and decrypting the current text file. To
use it you need to get a encryption program like CRYPTER.EXE from
garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsfcom23.zip.
   SPELL.QMA for spell-checking the current file has been updated to
include a second macro. The old ALT-5 macro checks the spelling
using a single dictionary from garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tschek14.zip.
The new ALT-6 macro chains a second dictionary (short.dny from the
same package) to treat words like wouldn't, shouldn't, and I'll.
   Made some additions and corrections to the documentation in the
other QEdit macros in the package.

Sun 29-Sep-91: I have again updated my collection of QEdit v2.15
definitions and macros for the garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/editor/
qedit215.zip editor. The updated file is /pc/ts/tsqed12.arc. I have
added a batch to compile all the macros for you. There are some
small corrections is my key definition and help configuration files.
There are four new macros. Two to toggle save off / on in case you
don't want to make accidental changes to your file. The third is a
macro to load an ascii table, which is included. The fourth is a
very specialized macro for the /pc/ts/tslin33.arc linear programming
and goal programming package. It invokes the linsolve.exe program to
solve the LP program in you current text file. Just press the
CursorUp key when linsolve.exe asks for the file name, and watch it
happen.

Sat 14-Sep-91: I have updated my collection of QEdit v2.1 macros for
the /pc/pd2/qedit21.zip editor. I have added a macro to spell-check
the current file being edited. To use this facility you'll need the
spelling checking package /pc/ts/tschek13.arc, Buerg's browsing
program list.com from /pc/fileutil/list76a, and the QEdit macro
translator from /pc/editor/qmac21.zip. Once installed, the checking
of the spelling with this macro is just a keystroke away. The name
of the update is /pc/ts/tsqed11.arc.

Sun 25-Nov-90: I use SemWare's QEdit v2.1 as my principal text
editor for the PC (/pc/pd2/qedit21.zip). (The usual disclaimer
naturally applies: I'm only a satisfied customer of SemWare). Since
it is possible that my configuration and help files, and some
macros, might be of some interest to other users of QEdit, I have
put them in a new collection called /pc/ts/tsqed10.arc. The
assembled macro files are called *.mac, and the text sources for
them are called *.mat. As you know QEdit macro files can be
assembled and disassembled using the QMAC Macro Program
(/pc/pd2/qmac21.zip). I have included only the *.mat files, since
you can easily compile / customize them yourself with QMAC. And even
if you would not directly use adopt these files, they may give some
useful ideas on QEdit macro programming.
