New stuff in BleedingEdge



ftp.ardi.com:/pub/BleedingEdge and
ftp.cs.unm.edu:/pub/ardi/BleedingEdge both contain linux199n5.tar.gz
and dos199n5.zip.  The file readme.9n5 explains what those two files
contain.  It's short enough that it's included below.  I don't know
when vorlon.mit.edu will mirror these files.

================================ readme.9n5 =================================

Installation instructions (assumes standard destinations):

DOS:
	Replace C:\executor\executor.exe (i.e. in the directory in which you
	installed 1.99n -- you must have installed 1.99n first) with the
	executor.exe that is in dos199n5.zip.

Linux:

	Replace /usr/local/bin/executor with the executor that is in
	linux199n5.tar.gz.  You must have previously installed 1.99n.

Run Executor, and check the lower left of the screen to be sure it says
"1.99n5"

These are the improvements that 1.99n5 *should* have over stock 1.99n:


======== Both ========

	Using Cmd-Shift-5 to change the screen depth should no longer be ugly

	BBEdit Lite 3.0's preference panel should work

	PostScript created is much more correct

n5	Cmd-Shift-3 will create a .tif screen dump

n5	You can increase applzone up to 16 MB now

======== DOS Only ========

	Should run under OS/2

	Cursor shouldn't "paint screen"

n5	Macintosh formatted CD-ROM drives up through Z: should work

n5	CD-ROM and Network filesystems through Z: should work

n5	Floppy formatting about 4 times faster on some systems

======== Linux Only ========

	Should allow you to descend into mounted filesystems properly

	Shouldn't consume all of virtual memory
 
n5	You should no longer need the "-invertedcursorbug" switch
