o Renamed CONFIGFILE tooltype to PREFS.
o Renamed Load to Open throughout all the preferences, etc, so I could make the
P key print, and the L key find the last match.
o XPK compression now supported in file loading.
o Wrote XPK compression when saving the file.
o Added preferences to the File page of the preference GUI for setting the
XPK pack mode and efficiency when saving XPK files.
o The progress window will now let you know if it is loading an XPK file.
o Added a progress window for saving the file.
o Moved XPK preferences to the new Compression preference page.
o Added XPKPACKERS argument and preferences for having a list of XPK packers
available.
o Removed Copy, Up and Down gadgets from the Filetype page, as they are not
necessary for that.
o Drew preference icons and added gadget for changing the settings.
o Replaced Add and Remove buttons in the Compression and File pages of the
preference GUI with + and - buttons.
o Merged RECESSBORDERS and LIGHTBORDERS keywords into BORDEROPTIONS keyword.
o Renamed all PRINTER#? keywords to PRINT#?.
o Added a History menu with a list of all the recent files loaded. Thanks to
Ali Graham for the help.
o Tidied up help file loading/unloading. Now the help buffer only needs to be
parsed once, and from then on, the pointers to the help linelist and document
linelist, etc are exchanged.
o Moved font preferences into the Text preference page.
o Removed the buttons in the Text preference page for selecting the system or
screen font, as they weren't that useful.
o Wrote preferences for using the Asl filerequester instead of ReqTools.
o Deleted the text version of the docs, as it is becoming too time consuming to
maintain both that and the guide file.
o Now the last position of the Asl filerequester will be saved in the
preference file.
o The Shell window should now get a close gadget.

o Decided to switch next and last search gadgets, as it makes more sense the
other way around.
o Touched up Standard icons to make them look more like the MagicWB icons.
o Improved EvenMore guide documentation with links for menu items.
o Added a Print menu item and the ability to print the file.
o Drew the Print icons and added a Print gadget.
o Added a little printer image to the print requester.
o Now the top and bottom print margins will start at 0, and end at the number
of lines in the document, so every page gets filled.
o Added a Printer page to the preference GUI, and added preferences to change
the printer margins.
o Hopefully fixed a bug in searching, where if you searched backwards at the
start of the file, it would go on past the beginning of the file.
o Added the preference PRINTERTYPEFACE, in which you can select whether you
want the printed text to be bold, italic, proportional or nlq.
o Added preferences for print pitch, quality and spacing.
o EasyGUI resize bug fixed thanks to Ali Graham for telling me about it.
o Renamed the SEARCHNOTIFY preference to SEARCHOPTIONS, and OR'd the case
sensitive, pattern and word options into it.
o Now the icons will always be read after the window opens, and not before,
like when you load the preferences, etc.
o Fixed bug in the install script, which when updating, would copy the drawer
icons into the icon directories.
o Renamed PRINTERTYPEFACE to PRINTEROPTIONS and added preferences for formfeed
at the end of a print.
o Decided to remove all the preferences from the icon except the CONFIGFILE
preference. As a result I reduced the executable by 4k.
o Decided to make the titlebar text the full path of the file.
o Now uses WA_AUTOADJUST instead of own routine, as the window will now resize
if it is too small anyway.
o Removed PRINTERQUALITY preference. I think it is the same as NLQ.
o Added preference to do a reset before starting printing.
o Fixed bug where the scroll gadgets would scroll to the wrong position after a
search.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

o Added preferences for changing the window title format.
o Fixed bug where the progress window would crash if there was only one line in
the file.
o Totally reprogrammed text printing routines.
o Added an information bar at the top of the window, and moved the information
from the title bar into it.
o Reprogrammed GUI drawing to use special E functions, and not the standard
system functions.
o Now the window title will just be the filename.
o The window title will now change for viewing the help text.
o Fixed bug were if an exception was raised in the main procedure, the window
and screen wouldn't close.
o Fixed bug were the line height wouldn't update after you changed the leading
preference.
o Fixed bug in which after you used the arexx port to move to a line, would
scroll back again when you selected the window.
o Attached the information bar onto the text area, and put a bevel box around
it (Uses same settings as text area).
o Now hilights words during searching.
o Searches will now look for more than one occurance of a string on one line.
o Fixed a stupid bug in which the palette wouldn't save the current custom
screen colours. Also, the palette will no longer be taken off other screens
and used for the custom screen when you change screens.
o Now will only scroll if necessary while searching.
o Now the whole line will get hilighted when you search for a pattern.
o Fixed bug in which the occurance search would miss an occurance of a string
if one occurance shares a letter with another, eg. ' - ' and ' - - '.
The second example will now be seen as two occurances.
o The GETWINDIM arexx command didn't seem to do what it was supposed to do.
But I removed it anyway, as it wasn't that useful.
o Now there is only 1 text offset variable, which will be used for all sides
of the window.
o Drew the quickload icons, and added a quickload gadget and preferences.
o Fixed a bug in which the default icons directory was set wrong.

o Forgot to reopen window when the scroller preferences were changed.
o Will no longer reopen icons for the gadgets when you change the screenmode
settings, unless you change the gadget icons preferences.

o Saved some bytes by turning the preference page listview from a dclistview
into a standard listview.
o Forgot to recalculate gadget height whenever initiating gadgets again.
o Sped up parsing lines slightly.
o Number of words in the file are now counted correctly.
o Now when the progress window is counting lines, in the occurance search, and
file statistics, it will update in 20 steps to save processing power.
o Created small images for the search and quit requesters.
o Fixed stupid bug while searching, which would try to allocate a string 0
characters long.
o Error requesters now use EasyRequestArgs() instead of ReqTools so they will
open even if the ReqTools library doesn't open.
o Added load preferences gadget to the preference GUI.

o Added a small image for the Go to line, page and percent requesters.
o Touched up other images.
o Added an image to the search requester.
o Worked out what was stopping my nice error requesters from opening, so
hopefully now when an error occurs, a window will open up telling what went
wrong with a nice image in it. Nice.
o Fixed bug in the Paths page of the preference in which the file requesters
would not work. But the other bug in which they won't accept a path instead
of a filename still exists.
o Added a menu item for opening a shell on the EvenMore window/screen.

o The progress window will now update for parsing the lines.
o Added progress windows for parsing the help, and for when you toggle back
to the file.
o Now the progress window will update less when loading a file, so it doesn't
use up a lot of processing power.
o Removed the need to reparse the buffer when toggling back to the file from
the help text.
o Will now remeber the position in the document you were at after toggling
the help text.
o Now you cannot get file statistics on the help file, but the statistics from
the file you loaded will be kept intact.
o Removed the need to parse the lines when toggling help off, as the list of
line pointers is now backed up.
o Added the Smooth ridge border type.
o Reprogrammed progress window look, to fix a few bugs.
o Now the EvenMore window will open before the gadgets are read, which makes it
appear to load quicker, and lets the user know things are happening.

to parse and print tabs properly, in scrolling etc.

pubscreen instead of the EvenMore screen.
o ReqTools requesters will now share the IDCMP port of the main window.

o Optmised icon gadget routine.
o Now the gaget icon filerequester will automatically be set '#?.info' as the
pattern.
o Fixed bug in which loading a new file in a new EvenMore would fail if there
were spaces in the path of EvenMore.
o Fixed bug in GUI calculation, in which the text top offset would be the
gadget border width and not the border width when the gadget position was
at the bottom. And also optmised a few calculations.
o Oops! I was running a patch to turn all my windows into SMARTREFRESH windows
and didn't realize EvenMore was running on SIMPLEREFRESH, without window
refreshes, so the graphics wouldn't redraw. So it is now running on
SMARTREFRESH. I refuse to believe nobody noticed this.
o Occurance search now has a progress bar.
o Will no longer search for a blank string.
o Now saves icons as .info in the preferences, as I made the icon gadget MODULE
accept .info extensions.
o Will now get the default WBTOOL icon if opening an icon fails.
o Tidied up exception handling.
o Decided finally to scrap my attempts to sort similar variables into OBJECTs,
and only use OBJECTs when useful or necessary. Things should go faster now,
and I wacked 4k off the code! :/
o No longer clears LF or CR to NIL in the file buffer, but can print text and
search the buffer without using strings.
o It seems the exception for opening a file failing was missing.
o Added Save file menu item for saving the file.
o Wrote preferences and GUI preferences and added a gadget for saving the file.
o Removed file statistics preferences. Now the file statistics will be
calculated when you open the Information window.
o Drew the lovely EvenMore MWB dockicon.
o Added Smooth bevel to GUI preferences.
o Removed Choose pen gadgets from the GUI page of the preferences, and replaced
it with a listview of pens. Click on an item and a palette requester will
appear.
o Enhanced the Smooth bevel look. Added the SHADEPENS preference which will
be the light and dark pens used in the bevel, instead of dithering the pen.
o Added preferences for light borders, in which the light and dark pens are
use to draw the bevel borders instead of black and white.
o Now the Box border type will be white, and black when recessed. You can also
now use the Light option too, to change it to greys.
o The Smooth bevel border type can now be made lighter.
o Added the Embossed border type.
o Moved the settings from ENV: to the program directory, and added the menu
items 'Load settings from default', 'Save as...' and 'Save settings as
defaults'. Also change the preference GUI to have the buttons Save and Save
as...
o Hopefully fixed the unkown error exception handling.
o Added Show GUI button to the GUI preferences page so you can see the results
of the changes you are making to the GUI.
o Now checks for the mouse 'click and drag' in the actual text area, instead of
checking to see if the button was pressed on the text, which if there were
less lines of text than the window height, could become confusing, as it
would not scroll.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

gadgets, and moved the gadget position preference from the GUI page to this
page.
o Removed one of the gadget rows, and moved the search gadgets onto one row, as
the gadgets now take up far less space.
o Removed the ability to change the preferences from ARexx. It's not really that
useful, and wastes a lot of bytes.
o Now keywords in the preferences need to begin at the first character
otherwise they won't be recognised, to avoid keyword confusion, eg
LOADICON and RELOADICON would be confused.
o Fixed bug were quickload and filetype list couldn't handle huge file paths.
o Renamed border types to more understandable names, and added Wide ridge type
to preferences.
o Split border settings into type and recess settings, with the RECESSBORDERS
keyword.
o Reorganised preference GUI.
o Seperated history of EvenMore into this file, and removed great chunks of the
documents about the preference file help. You shouldn't need to edit the
preference file manually anyway, but it is pretty self explanitory.
o Decided to replace ON and OFF keywords in the preference file with their
numerical equivalents, to save bytes.

o Pressing S will now bring up the search window.

BORDERTYPES and BORDEROFFSETS.

border.

BORDERTEXT and BEVELGADGETS to BORDERGADGETS.

o Made 'failed to allocate memory' exceptions more specific about what actually
went wrong.
o Removed 'Loading...' message from window title, as it is not needed as there
is now a progress window.
o At last worked out I needed to use 32bit multiplication and division in order
to calculate the progress window percentage, instead of using a lot of
division to break it down into smaller numbers.
o Optimized some scroller gadget code.
o Now only the text and not the GUI is redrawn when zooming.
o Replaced zoom requester with a GUI with a slider, in which you can test, use
or cancel the zoom.

o Can take just a path as an argument, and a requester will pop up with the
directory listing of that path displayed.
o Fixed stupid bug in which EvenMore would crash if there were no linefeeds
in a file.
o Can now be menufied into the Workbench tools menu.
o Added preferences for menufying on start-up.
o Fixed major bug in the tooltypes. They didn't work, and on some machines
caused a 4-5 second freeze before doing anything.
o Fixed a silly bug in which the Quit from the menu didn't work.
o Made scrolling slide smoothly along.
o Added preferences for smooth scrolling.
o Added centre window menu item.
o Added page overlap preferences.
o Added sub items in the settings menu for the text offsets.
o Added the ability to drag and drop and select from the menu drawers as well
as files. A requester will appear displaying the contents of that drawer.
o Tidied up some code and fixed a few bugs.
o Added screen list. I had to use EasyGUI to create it, as there is no such
requester in ReqTools, and EasyGUI beats MUI and BGUI and CrashAct.
Unfortunately, it takes up an extra 30k of code, so hopefully soon I will
have added a few more things in EasyGUI to make up for that.
o Added system default font menu item.
o Made program breakable when iconified or menufied.
o Added close file menu item.
o Removed the 'could not find file' error message. Now the window will open
even if a file was not found.
o Added 'no files loaded' notice, when no file is found. Also it replaces the
statistics message when no file is loaded.
o Speeded up things by removing all window, drawinfo and screen, etc. pointer
arguments from procedures, and put them all in a global object.
o Added mouse movement.
o Decided to remove the space line between rows in the window. This will speed
things up, and be more compatible with text snapping programs.

o Reversed scrolling upwards, so it now looks nicer.
o Lost a few bytes to OO programming after making code a litte tidier.
o Further prefs/file loading optimizations and clean sweep.
o Window can now be iconified.
o Added appicon positioning preferences.
o Fixed up the ReqTools requesters a bit, with pattern matching, and window
locking.
o Added the option to be iconified on start-up.
o Added 'Go to percent' menu item in the view menu.
o Made space between text and window borders configurable.
o Added line number printing options.
o Added the settings menu with the line number printing item.
o Added line percent printing options.
o Added the settings menu with the line percent printing item.
o Removed window clears, so now when the window is resized or the window is
scrolled more than the number of lines in the window, the text will simply
redraw over the old text.
o Uses BlitCopy() instead of ScrollRaster(). The raster is copied, just
like ScrollRaster(), but the new area isn't cleared. The lines are drawn on
top of the old lines, which is much nicer to look at. This may also mean
scrolling is slightly faster.
o Remade most of the search functions.
o Added 'File statistics' menu item, showing more information like word count,
and number of characters in the file.
o Added font requester, and the select font item in the settings menu.
o Added screen default font selection in the settings menu.

o Text printing vastly improved. Now a whole window redraw is not necessary
if the viewer scrolls more than one line. The scroll is done and the lines
are just filled in.
o May have fixed a small mistake in which the bottom border could be trashed
by the font on a redraw. (Not the major trash if you resize too fast).
o Window now calculates the minimum size possible it can be by the gadget
sizes.
o Made errors output to requesters if opening the ReqTools library was a
success, otherwise outputs to the console.
o Even more (excuse the pun ;) optimizations!!!
o Changed the way file is loaded. This may save some memory/speed? And it
will also mean that I can easily make changes, etc, when I work out how to
parse the file.
o If a file doesn't exist when selected by the requester, the old filenames
will be restored.
o Added font preferences.
o Added error suppression.
o 'Discovered' how to set the writemask on a rastport, so now the window
scrolls mega fast!
o Added an AppWindow, so files can be loaded by dragging icons onto the window.
o Now when you switch screens, the window dimensions aren't lost.
o Half finsihed a scroller window. Scrolling left and right will be deadly. If
anyone knows how let me know. I have some idea, of how to do it, but it is
hard turning that idea into code.
o Now ignores carriage return characters, for PC compatibility.
o Numeric keypad support.
o Fixed a few bugs.
o And a few other things not worth mentioning...

o Fixed silly bug in which sometimes the preference file wouldn't open. (I
hope I did anyway).
o Window maximum and minimum sizes are now calculated according to the
visible limits of the screen, so hopefully no gurus should occur on virtual
Workbenches.(I hope)
o Tonnes and tonnes more optimizations.
o Flipped preferences file around. (It didn't occur to me there was another
way to do it easily)
o Added the ability to move the window to a different screen after it is
opened.
o Now checks for the availability of a screen, by the
LockPubScreenList() instead of just trying to open on the default screen if
LockPubScreen() returns NIL.
o Hopefully improved the output of error handling.
o Changed the way preferences are loaded. This may save some memory/speed?
o Fixed bug in which the preferences would not load from the root directory of
my harddrive.
o Fixed bug in which the program would crash on exit.
o Now checks some keys by qualifiers instead of rawkey numbers.
o Can be killed by CTRL C.
o Added newlook menus for v39+.
o Text no longer trashes right border.
o And a few more things not worth mentioning...

o Fixed silly mistake. Changed drawmode back from Jam2 to Jam1. I don't know
how many times I have done this. :)
o More keys for moving about documents.
o View menu to move about documents.
o Added extra requesters.
o Added reload menu item.
o Added more information in about requester.
o Added more information in the title bar.
o Now uses ReqTools library.
o Added centring window option.
o Added preferences file.
o Search menu to search through documents.
o Made a whole lot of optimizations.
o Removed GIMMEZEROZERO flag, so now the window updates faster and uses less
memory.

o Added tooltypes. (Window size positions)
o A few improvements here and there.... here, there, everywhere a few
improvements!
o Fixed some silly bug. If started from the CLI, the files wouldn't load up
from the requester... Thanx to Johan Björnson for reporting it. Still don't
know who the culprit was that made the bug :?/.

o Can't remember what they were like. Probably awful! Infact, so awful I just
erased them :).
