- This update was made to allow EDFILE to be used with CP/M
- machines whose cursor keys default to WordStar's diamond pattern
- (^S, ^D, ^E, ^X). Although the old version provided a patch area
- for cursor codes, the ^E and ^X conflicted with built commands to
- toggle between the hex and ASCII areas of the display and to
- abort the edit, respectively.
-
- The command to toggle between the hex and ASCII display areas has
- been changed to ^T. The command to abort the edit has been
- changed to ^Q. The documentation has been modified to reflect
- these changes, as have the built-in help screens.
-
- Two earlier patches have also been incorporated into this
- version:
-
- 1. From Dennis Recla, Dallas, Texas, 1/10/84, fixing an error in
- the Cursor up and Cursor down portion of the program. The
- original version dated 01/09/84 had them reversed. The doc file
- was revised to correct the same errors in it. I also added a
- short paragraph describing the proceedure for writing the changes
- to the memory buffer, and to use CTRL-C to write the memory
- buffer to the disk.
-
- 2. From Clint Lew, South Bay Techincal Support RCP/M , 9/84, two
- small bugs. The first bug limited the size of the file to which
- direct jumps could be made. In the original version, for files
- greater than about 8000H, the "dump relative address" or "A"
- command would not consistently jump directly to all addresses.
- (Actually the address jump limit was dependent upon the file
- size). The second bug was a minor problem in that a jump to an
- address which happened to be on a sector boundary would send you
- to the block before the desired block.
- n that a jump to an
- address which happened to be on a sector boundary would send you
- to the block before the desi
