BREEZE Copyright (c) Kevin Solway, 1989-95
- UPDATES -
(Since 1992)
Version 4.0
With version 4.0 BREEZE has undergone a significant
overhaul.
- Now enables multiple files in different windows. That is,
a number of files can be held in memory simultaneously and
you can switch rapidly between them. Added clipboard,
improved mouse handling and support.
Other details of this update not included here to save
space.
Version 4.1
- Corrected some spellings in the dictionary
- When moving the cursor upwards the screen now starts to
scroll before the cursor reaches the top of the screen,
similar to downward scrolling. This enables you to see
where you are going.
- If no block is marked and you select to perform a
readability analysis you will be prompted if you want to
analyze the entire document.
- Blocks can now be marked using whole line mode. That is,
entire lines will automatically be selected regardless of
the current cursor position in the line. This speeds up
block marking considerably, which is especially useful for
programmers. This feature is available from the
configuration menu. The default block marking mode is for
individual characters, or "streaming" mode.
- Fixed problem when loading a file via the pick list and
the current file was not saved. If the save option was
chosen then the new file was loaded as an empty file.
- Find and replace missed some replacements when searching
for single characters.
- The screen saver is now active in any window, and not just
from the edit window.
Version 4.2
- Programs created with the "text to .EXE" converter now
give you the option not to send standard Epson printer
control codes when printing the contents. This gives
better compatibility with laser printers. Also, tabs are
now correctly expanded into spaces when printing.
- With some screen saving programs, when returning to BREEZE
the characters on the screen would blink. This has now
been fixed.
Version 4.3
- Added support for a wider range of printers.
- Fixed bug when a filename of all empty spaces was entered.
- Fixed an obscure bug which occured when saving file names
to the pick file after analyzing text.
- Fixed the problem of an "a" being added to the beginning
of a macro sequence when the recording was initiated from
the main menu.
- Fixed a minor bug when entering a file name as a command
parameter and the file was not found. You would be asked
rename the next loaded file when you wanted to save it.
- Increased registration price to $45 to cover increased
costs, but decreased cost of upgrades from $20 to $10.
Version 4.4
- Fixed bug with screen saver and autosaver. Didn't work
correctly when adjusted to times greater than five minutes.
- Fixed problem with line not wrapping when a style character
was entered exactly on the right margin. If auto-
reformatting was on at the same time this could jam the
computer!
- Fixed bug when floppy disk not in drive and when Breeze
tries to read the disk directory, or when no matching
files found.
- The following improvements have been made to the "text to
.EXE" converter:
- Added option to remove special style codes when
printing text to a file from the executable.
- The executable programs created with Breeze will
now automatically detect whether the user has a
colour system. If not, then the default mono
pallette will be used, unless changed by the user
from the command line. This is a safety mechanism,
to prevent you from selecting colours when creating
the executable on a colour system which do not
show-up clearly when the program is run on a mono
system.
- Added ability to move to main menu selections in the
executable with a single keystroke. The main menu
is taken to be the first one to appear in the text.
Alt-0 : moves to main menu (the first one)
Alt-1..Alt-9 : move directly to main menu picks.
- Added a help screen in the resulting executables.
Press F1. This should make the program easier to
use for beginners.
- Added option to print (or send to file) the screen
only, or the entire text from executable.
- Fixed paper feed control for laser printers. Would send
unnecessary blank pages.
- Fixed periodic screen flicker on VGA screens.
- Added support for the pound sterling symbol.
Version 4.5
- Added graphical print previewer for registered users.
- Improved time-sharing abilities for use on concurrent
systems.
- Added "Read manual" option in the files menu. This saves
you the trouble of exiting to DOS to run the manual
program.
- Made the "format paragraph" function available from the
options menu to reduce confusion for beginners.
- Fixed bug where sometimes when loading a file from the
pick list you were not returned to the correct line.
- Added extra words to the dictionary.
Version 4.6
- Can now save the page numbering mode in the configuration
file.
- When making an .EXE file out of the text, sometimes the
closing brace ">" was not removed. This is fixed.
- Added option to have centred page numbers when printing.
Press return on the "page no.s" option in the print menu
to cycle between page numbering modes.
- The printer configuration file BREEZE.PRN (created with
BRZPRINT.EXE) is now a text file that can be edited from
within Breeze. You can change or modify the printer
control commands as you like.
- Fixed a couple of minor problems with laser printer
support.
- Added a ruler (options menu) showing columns and inches
based on the cpi for the font selected in the printing
options menu.
- Pressing the Alt key and the Ctrl key simultaneously will
immediately activate the screen saver.
Version 4.7
- Added support for international keyboards and character
sets. For example, Denmark, Italy, France, and Germany.
- If support files not found Breeze now searches the path.
- If expanded memory is available, the dictionary is now
loaded into expanded memory to make more memory available
for text.
- Can now save "print indent left" setting in the
configuration file.
- When using the "save as" feature you are now prompted with
the path of the last loaded file.
