EDIT'R Revision History
07-14-93 ■ Version 1.0
. Added code to instruct the Open File dialog box to
reflect the path of the previously saved file from
the Save As dialog box.
. Created a work-around solution to problem where
the logo screen was popping up over the top of the
editing screen when a parameter was passed from
the command line.
. Added code to instruct the Save As dialog box to
reflect the path of the previously opened file
from the Open File dialog box.
. Removed OK button from EDIT'R's logo screen.
Instead, using EDIT'R logo screen as a constant
backdrop.
. Removed attempts to alter the environment's PROMPT
statement.
. Added ability to automatically detect and invoke
any path changes that are typed into the filename
fields of the Open and Save As dialog boxes by the
user.
. Added module to perform File Save As routine. This
allows currently opened files to be saved into any
drive and directory, under any available DOS file-
name.
07-12-93 ■ Version 0.2ß (Internal BETA Version. Not Released.)
. Added EDIT'R Help option to Help menu that gives
brief information on EDIT'R, along with available
keys and their function.
. Removed unnecessary module Intro.
. Fixed problem where EDIT'R was not displaying a file
that had been loaded from the command line, due to
the fact that the logo screen was being used in
place of the About screen.
. Fixed problem where EDIT'R was terminating due to
an attempt to load a file larger than 32K. Added a
command to exit the read file sub-routine if this
error occurs.
. Changed opening screen from the "About" screen to
a new, more attractive logo screen.
. Changed EDIT'R Path to reflect an environment set
statement (otherwise, the default is "C:\EDITR\"),
instead of the current directory EDIT'R is launched
from. This ensures that the EDITR.INI file is
always written to the source directory.
. Added code to make EDIT'R read the EDITR.INI file
before displaying the text editor, so it can deter-
mine what startup size to use.
. Removed close (control) box from editor text box.
. Added About screen to initial startup routine.
. Added a brief nag screen to unregistered versions of
EDIT'R. This screen pops up after exit is selected,
and waits 3 seconds before displaying the Ok button
that will actually trigger an exit from the program.
. Added automatic check to determine whether or not a
registration number is valid when it is entered into
the Register screen. A pop-up messgage box will
confirm that a valid registration number was
entered.
. Added built-in registration numbers for users who
request a registered copy over the telephone with
their Visa/MC, American Express or Discover credit
card.
. Added code to issue a warning message when opening a
file if the file is larger than 32K, or if any other
problem occurs when attempting to open a file.
. Fixed problem where warnings were not being issued
before exiting from EDIT'R.
. Removed code to automatically write an EDITR.INI
file during the reading process if one does not
already exist. Instead, set default values to be
used for all fields if the EDITR.INI cannot be
found.
. Added code to the File Exit command to check if the
editor was still open, and if so, issued a call to
the File Close command before exiting EDIT'R.
. Added confirmation dialog box to File Exit routine
to allow users to confirm that they want to exit
EDIT'R.
. Added support for a filename to be added as a
command line parameter. Adding this parameter will
cause EDIT'R to open the file named in the
parameter.
. Fixed potential path searching problem when search-
ing for the EDITR.INI. (Not adding a backslash (\)
to the search statement if the current directory is
the root.)
. Set EDIT'R Path to startup directory. (EDITR.INI
file will be saved in the startup directory!)
. Moved code to clear the screen after exiting EDIT'R
to a code module instead of a form module. (Fixed
problem where EDIT'R did not clear the screen after
a File Exit command.
. Added code to set the EDIT'R Path to the startup
directory when it is executed.

editing windows when a user selects File New to

Save As will only work when the editor is the

Window Normal, Window Maximize, Edit Cut, Edit

issue a warning message before attempting to over-
write it.

calling the WriteEDITRINIFile sub-routine.
. Wrote sub-routine to write the EDITR.INI file.
. Added code to read the EDITR.INI file prior to
using the Open File screen. When File Open is
selected from the menu, the default patterns
contained in the EDITR.INI file are used for the
File Type list. If a pattern is blank, the field
is disabled.
. Wrote sub-routine to read the EDITR.INI file.
. Added code to restore the focus to the first
pattern field on the Open File Patterns screen when
"Defaults" is selected.

accessed from the Help menu.
. Added Print screen to allow printing of files.
. Due to "Out of overlay stack space" error message,
removed *.* check box from control array, giving it
an individual control name. (This problem was
occurring because code within the sub-routine was
triggering an event that issued a call to the same
sub-routine.)
. Added code to unselect the *.* check box when
any other check box is selected. Likewise, added
code to unselect any other check boxes if the *.*
check box is selected.

a check box is selected or unselected. This auto-
