- Edith Manual File Options 11th September 1994
-
-
- The following FILE OPTIONS can be specified in this
- dialog:
-
- The TYPE of NEWLINES when a file is saved can be set to
- match any of the following three standards:
-
- MS-DOS (carriage return, line feed)
- UNIX (line feed)
- MACINTOSH (carriage return)
-
- However, when AS IS is selected instead, the newlines
- in a file will not be changed. When loading a file,
- EDITH will try to recognize which standard is used in
- the file, and any newlines subsequently typed into the
- text will be in that style. Saving 'as is' is a few
- times faster than saving in a specific newline style.
-
- BACKUPs can be written before saving a file. The
- backup file either has the same name as the original
- file, with the extension '.BAK', or is saved in a
- folder BACKUP by its original name.
-
- CARBON COPIES of a file can be saved at regular
- intervals, set in minutes, and when the contents of a
- window are abandoned. Carbon copies are a safety
- measure. When for example your computer system has
- crashed while you were editing important text, and a
- carbon copy of that text has been written recently,
- EDITH will automatically offer to use the carbon copy
- instead of the original file when it is opened later.
- Also, when you decided to abandon a text and later
- found the changes valuable anyway, the carbon copy can
- provide a solution.
-
-
-
- ** The 'lid closing time' known from older Edith
- versions has been set to a fixed time.
