- Zeus Version 1.00
- -----------------
-
- Initial release of the Zeus for Windows Version 1.00
-
-
- Zeus Version 1.01
- -----------------
-
- 1) Fixed:
- Problem with electric keyboard expansion. The electric listbox is case
- insensitive but the search was done as case sensitive. This meant the
- following expansion did not work.
-
- "T" 1 "TRUE"
-
- Note: That the keyboard expansion is still coded to be case sensitive.
-
- 2) Fixed:
- Tab characters where not being processed correctly in the preprocessor
- string. For example the following would paint incorrectly.
-
- #<tab char here>ifdef
-
- 3) Fixed:
- Tab characters where not being processed correctly when place within
- strings. For example the following would paint incorrectly.
-
- "<tab char here>this is a string with a tab in it"
-
- 4) Added:
- Added electric expansion "\b" control character and changed search to
- limit words with delimiters characters also (ie "(ifg<space>" would now
- expand out).
-
- 6) Added:
- Backup interval edit field to editor options dialog box was added.
-
- 7) Added:
- If Zeus is minimised and a file is opened by double clicking or dropping on
- the Zeus for windows icon (using the File Manager, Zeus file associations)
- then Zeus will be restored to normal size.
-
- 8) Added:
- The Open dialog now has persistence. It remembers the file extension
- filter last used (for the period of the edit session only).
-
-
- Zeus Version 1.02
- -----------------
-
- 9) Added:
- New functions, Close, Close All and Save All added to the toolbar and
- Save All option added to the File menu.
-
- 10) Added:
- Standard CUA keyboard mappings for cut, copy, paste and marking have
- been added to editor.
-
- 11) Added:
- Better use of the hourglass for operations requiring CPU time.
-
- 12) Added:
- Brief Ctrl-F5 toggle case sensitivity command was added.
-
- 13) Fixed:
- Tab and Shift-Tab of a marked area now moves the area with tabs or
- spaces depending on the options editor "Replace tabs with space"
- option (old version would always use spaces).
-
-
- Zeus Version 1.03
- -----------------
-
- 14) Fixed:
- Major problem with non US keyboard drivers now fixed. For example Zeus
- would cause crash if keyboard was set to German and an extended (Non
- ASCII) key was pressed.
-
- 15) Fixed:
- Problem with compiler not working over different disk drives. ie c:\zeus
- could not compile file located in e:\project.
-
- 16) Added:
- Error listbox font now matches the font selected for editing. This should
- allow more of the error message to be seen (in the case of very long error
- messages).
-
- 17) Fixed:
- When the compiler is run in minimized mode, Zeus for Windows does not loose
- active status any more (it would incorrectly switch to the program manager
- if the PM was visible).
-
- 18) Added:
- Brief Ctrl-K Kill to beginning of line command added.
-
- 19) Added:
- Multiple file selection to the File Open dialog box added.
-
- 20) Added:
- Extra messaging reporting added to the status line.
-
- 21) Added:
- Ability to define two file open and file save as filters was added to the
- editor setup dialog box.
-
- 21) Fixed:
- Problem found when a stream marked area that contained tabs characters was
- deleted or cut has been fixed.
-
- NOTE: Version 1.03 Frozen
- =========================
-
- Sold first copy of Zeus for Windows V1.03 Editor. Zeus for Windows frozen
- at this version while work starts on the platform portable version of Zeus.
-
-
- Zeus Version 1.04 (Start of portable version)
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- 22) Fixed:
- Any multi select file open on any root directory (ie a:\\filename.txt) would
- cause an error opening the selected files.
-
- 23) Fixed:
- Double click on error list box would loose the status bar error when the
- document was activated. Now the error is not lost on double click activation.
-
- 24) Fixed:
- Added feature to editor setup that enables the size of the newly created MDI
- window to be controled.
-
- 25) Fixed:
- Smart indenting in overwrite mode would delete characters from the line
- below. This has now been fixed.
-
- 26) Added:
- Goto dialog and bookmark dialog now remember the last valid value entered.
- Also better feedback via the status line was added.
-
- 27) Added:
- The Error listbox now supports a horizontal scroll bar.
-
- 28) Added:
- A Online Help QuickSearch feature was added to the Help menu popup.
-
- 29) Fixed:
- The compiler error processing has been reworked in an effort to remove a
- few strange bugs that would sometimes occur while compiling. Also a third
- parameter was added to the command line arguments passed to compiler batch
- file (see online help for details).
-
- 30) Added:
- Added a new improved toolbar and status bar. It paints better, have less
- flicker and removes some of the keyboard problems (ie using the old toolbar
- the alt key would not work if the mouse pointer is on a toolbar button).
-
- 31) Added:
- Added a the ability to show and hide the toolbar and status bar using the
- menu options.
-
- 32) Fixed:
- Hitting backspace with the cursor at column position 0 does not delete
- the character like it use to.
-
- 33) Fixed:
- Searching for whole words was not working. This is now fixed.
-
- 34) Fixed:
- The Replace dialog find and replace buttons where not working as would be
- expected. This has now been fixed.
-
- 35) Fixed:
- Reduced the amount of screen flicker when opening and closing the MDI windows.
-
- 36) Fixed:
- Added error message if you try to compile a file that is changed and somehow
- becomes write protected. Previously Zeus would just abort the compile without
- an error.
-
- 37) Fixed:
- Zeus would let you start multiple compiles while the first compile was still
- in progress. This eventually caused the system to GPF. Zeus has been fixed,
- so that it now only allows one compile at a time.
-
- 38) Added:
- The error window now supports the Control+Minus key (or file close menu)
- option. If the error windows contains compiler output the control minus
- returns you to the file that had been compiled and so it behaves like a
- reverse to the Control+P list errors keystroke.
-
- 39) Fixed:
- The Open and Save As file dialog where modeless. The have now been made modal
- to the main application.
-
- 40) Added:
- The file restore on startup feature now restores the file and the line number
- on startup.
-
- 41) Added:
- The insert/overwrite now have proper insert and overwrite carets (cursors)
- respectively, giving better visual feedback on the current insert mode.
-
- 42) Fixed:
- The word highlighting code will highlights quoted strings differently to
- normal text. This algorithm would work for the first quoted string but not
- for the second of two quoted strings on the same line. For example:
-
- VALUE "CompanyName", "Xidicone Pty Ltd", "Zeus for Windows"
-
- for the line above Atl-h would correctly highlight the first but not the
- second or second strings. It now works correctly for all strings.
-
- 43) Added:
- The compile process now reports if the compile was successful, has warnings
- or has errors. Previously it only reported the compile was complete.
-
- 44) Fixed:
- If the Enter key was hit while text was highlighted, the highlighted text
- was not replaced by the enter key. This has now been fixed (NOTE: this ONLY
- applies when the editor is in insert mode).
-
-
- Zeus Version 1.05 (Start of Windows 3.x, Windows 95, Combined Development)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 45) Fixed:
- Fixed a few /****/ comment painting problems. I'm sure there are still a lot
- more to come!
-
- Bug #1: Put the cursor on the middle of the first comment line and then hit
- the Alt-K key. Then hit undo and the painting does not return to the correct
- comment state.
-
- /*************************************************************/
- This should return to none commented after the undo is done!
- /*************************************************************/
-
- Bug #2: Insert line number one into the the block comment then hit undo.
-
- /* This is line number one (copy this line only)
- */
-
- /*
- * This is the block comment
- * Insert the the one line above here!
- */
-
- 46) Added:
- The search and replace dialog gives the user better feedback by using the
- status line to display a message when things go wrong.
-
- 47) Added:
- The editor setup option now allows you to toggle a left hand margin on or off.
-
- 48) Fixed:
- Fixed 3 bugs with the comment /* ie comments */ processing. The old code was
- getting out of synch after several line insertions and deletions. The new
- code has at least 3 less bugs to worry about but still has problems.
-
- 48) Fixed:
- Improved the background compile processing. For example by improving the
- message dispatch a typical background compile time has been reduced by 50%
- and loads from floppy disk are much faster.
-
- 49) Added:
- Added limited keyboard macro support to allow the recording and playback of
- simple key strokes macros. Now supports F7, F8 and Ctrl-R commands.
-
- 50) Added:
- Configurable colorize support based on file extension. This also allows
- things like the keywords, comment character, preprocessor character, string
- character and delimiters characters to be defined for each file type.
-
- 51) Added:
- The editor now supports a basic line wrap feature. This allows you to define
- the column at which the editor will automaticly line wrap, breaking the line
- on a word boundary.
-
- 52) Fixed:
- Fixed a bug in the options editor dialog where the backup interval entry
- field was getting disabled incorrectly.
-
- 53) Added:
- The file open can now be configured to allow/not allow single or multiple
- loads of files. This means that if the file is already loaded Zeus can be
- made to restore the original rather than loading a second copy, or a second
- copy can be opened if required.
-
- 54) Fixed:
- Fixed a problem will Zeus trying to open a file that was already opened by
- another application. After the sharing violation message Zeus would
- protection violate. This has now been fixed.
-
- 54) Added:
- Added the ability to read and write Unix text file in addition to the default
- standard MS-DOS text file formats.
-
- 55) Added:
- I have added as restore size feature. Zeus now remembers the size and
- position of the main frame window between editing sessions.
-
- 56) Added:
- If the error handler finds the error in and external file and that error is
- selected from the error output window, the error handling will no try to open
- up the external file and goto the line at fault.
-
- 57) Added:
- Support for setting up and running external tools has been added to the main
- menu. Piping of the results to an output window has also been added. Files can
- be loaded from the output window by just double clicking on any line in the
- output window, provided the line selected contains a valid file name.
-
- 58) Fixed:
- The print support in Zeus has been totally re-worked. This has improved the
- printing and hopefully fix the numerous problems with the old printing code.
-
- 59) Fixed:
- The CUA marking has been fixed to also allow CUA marking while using the
- word left or word right keys. Also the ghost mark sometimes seen when CUA
- marking has been fixed.
-
- 60) Added:
- The command line processing has been improved to allow the '?' and '*' wild
- card characters. This enabled multiple files to be loaded via the command
- line, for example when Zeus is run from File Manager or Program Manager menu
- run commands.
-
-

-
- 66) Fixed/Added (take your pick):
- The line goto command now retains the current cursor position.
-
- 67) Fixed
- The backspace command would incorrectly do a character delete when the cursor
- was located past the EOL. This has been fixed to only move the cursor in this
- case.
-
- 68) Fixed
- The captured output window was getting cleared every time a tool was run
- regardless of whether the tool was run with the capture output option enabled.
- This has now been fixed.
-
- 69) Added:
- Zeus can take any line of text in a file, parse it for a valid file name and
- then try to load the file. This function is attached to the Ctrl+E command or
- the right mouse button single click. Use this function to open include files.
-
- 70) Added:
- The Windows 95 version has had long file name support added.
-
- 71) Added:

- jump to new line in the center of the window, not at the top or bottom of
- the window as the previously did.
-
- 76) Added:
- The the search, replace, goto and goto bookmark dialogs remember their
- screen positions and restore to their old location.
-
- 77) Fixed:
- Fixed a problem with the auto indenting not working in line wrapping mode.
-
- 78) Fixed:
- Fixed a problem with maximum line length auto wrapping feature used on
- file load. In trying to wrap the line on a word break it would sometimes
- corrupt the wrapped line.
-
- 79) Fixed:
- The right mouse button upper case, lower case and toggle functions did not
- work correctly in overwrite mode. This has now been fixed.
-
- 80) Fixed:
- The saving of the startup files on exit did not always save the files

- problem has now been fixed.
-
- 81) Fixed:
- The tokenizer code could not distinguish like words for example, if
- you had the following keywords:
-
- right
- rightof
-
- then the 'rightof' keyword would never get recognized.
-
-
- Zeus Version 1.07 Windows 3.x, Windows 95 and Windows NT Release
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- NOTE: The Zeus for Windows product is built from a single code base so now
- all products irrespective of platform share the same version numbers.
-
-
- Zeus Version 2.00.01 Alpha Started (new keyboard manager and memory manager)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 81) Fixed:
- If you ran a compile where the compiler EXE was not found the error window
- incorrectly reported no errors found. This has now been fixed.
-
- 82) Added:
- The ability to match the following braces have been added "{}[]<>"
- and the function was bound to the Ctrl+']' key.
-
- 83) Fixed:
- An obscure command line bug has hopefully been fixed. For some machines
- with some command lines rentered, the F10 command would lock up after running
- the same command after a few times. This bug was very hard to replicate but I
- it seems to have gone away so I think it may have been fixed (seemed to be
- some type of timing problem).
-
- 84) Fixed:
- The double click close of an MDI window was not closing the message and output
- windows correctly (only in Win 3.x). This could result in a GPF if these
- windows where then put to use (ie compile or run a tool). The normal file
- close or Ctrl + Minus method would work correctly.
-
- 85) Fixed:
- The output window would no longer function once a Ctrl+G scan function was
- run. This has now been fixed.
-
- 86) Added:
- New user configurable keyboard mapping allows Zeus to support multiple
- keyboard mapping, including WordStar, Epsilon and Brief.
-
- 87) Added:
- Support for TAG characters via command line added.
-
- 88) Fixed:
- The online help has been totally re-written, hopefully making it easier to
- use Zeus and it's many features.
-
- 89) Fixed:
- Maximum file size increase to 60,000 lines, up from the original 10,000
- line limit of earlier versions.
-
- 90) Fixed:
- There was an obscure bug that would cause a GPF once in a while. This was
- tracked down to an error in the MDI window management, so hopefully this
- occasional GPF has been fixed. The aim is to make sure Zeus never GPF's.
-
- 91) Added:
- Project support has been added to Zeus. This allows you to build a
- project from within Zeus.
-
- 92) Added:
- Compiler support now supports multiple command lines. The compiler that is
- used to compile the active file is choosen using the file extension.
-
- 93) Fixes:
- A large number of smaller fixes have also been applied, fixing things like
- painting problems, improved error handling and other minor problems.
-
- 94) Added:
- Version information has been added to all Zeus data files. This was done to
- make Zeus more stable and allow easier backward compatibility in future
- versions of Zeus. The only draw back is that Zeus 2.00 data files are NOT
- compatible with earlier Zeus data files.
-
- 95) Added:
- Zeus now does a basic form of Smart Bracing. Zeus will automatically add
- a matching brace and indent the cursor for the '{' brace character.
-
-
- Zeus Version 2.00
- -----------------
-
- Initial release of the Zeus for Windows Version 2.00 (Febuary 1996)
-
-
- Zeus Version 2.01
- -----------------
-
- 96) Fixed:
- The support for long file extension has finally been fixed (hopefully!). Zeus
- would not initialise the extension information when long file extensions was
- used. Note Zeus still only recognizes the first 3 characters of the extension
- to provide 8.3 backward compatibility, so long extensions are identified by
- their first three characters only.
-
- 97) Fixed:
- Sometimes Zeus would not paste the last line from the clipboard. This has
- now been fixed.
-
- 98) Fixed:
- The backspace key would sometimes delete a line if once the backspace
- reached the column 0 position. This has now been fixed.
-
- 99) Fixed:
- The in Options | Compiler "Normal" radio button would stay activate once
- pressed. This has been fixed.
-
- 100) Added:
- A literal character key has been added to the extension dialog. This allows
- you to define a literal character which is the used by the colorizer as a
- way of ignoring the quote characters. For example:
- "this is quote \" is not the end of the string"
-
- 101) Fixed:
- Fixed the DDE problem with the Win32 version of Zeus. You would get a
- GPF if you double clicked a WinFile file, during the DDE connection.
-
- 102) Added:
- The Print dialog FilePrint() function will now automatically select the
- print marked area if it is activated will text in the current document
- is marked.
-
- 103) Fixed:
- The F10 dir command would incorrectly detect a line number in the captured
- output of the DIR command in Windows 95. This would result in a file
- load to a incorrect line number.
-
- 104) Added:
- Increased the column position display to 4 digits.
-
- 105) Fixed:
- The Zeus dialog box's would only save there position on cancel, not on the
- OK or close commands. The dialogs now save their position whenever the
- dialog is closed.
-
- 106) Added:
- The printout will automatically wrap the print output to the next line if
- the line length exceeds the page width.
-
- 107) Added:
- The printout will now filter all non-printable characters from the printer
- output stream.
-
- 108) Fixed:
- When using the Options | Compiler dialog and trying to delete entries from
- the "Installed Command Line" either the line is not deleted or wrong line
- is deleted from the list. This has now been fixed.
-
- 109) Fixed:
- When using the Options | Compiler dialog and trying to define a command
- line, Zeus did not process command lines where the options follow the
- file name, for example: "c51 SAMPLE.C large debug code"
-
- 110) Added:
- The ERR files produced by Zeus for the compile process could get large in
- number so I added a feature where by Zeus will clean up these files once
- they are no longer required.
-
- 111) Fixed:
- The support for long file extension has finally been fixed again! Found a
- bug with Zeus compiling long file extensions like 'java' files.
-
- 112) Fixed:
- Zeus had a sizing problem when the Option | Editor Display Mode was set to
- create default. Once created the cursor would get lost of the bottom of the
- page and would not auto scroll. The scroll bars would also not work and
- sometimes would not be shown.
-
- 113) Fixed:
- Zeus would not load binary files because they contained null characters. If
- a binary file was loaded Zeus would get caught in a infinite loop. Now Zeus
- loads binary files but any null characters are replace with white space and
- the file is loaded as read only.
-
- 114) Fixed:
- The FileReloadCurrent() edit function would cause a GPF sometimes. This has
- now been fixed.
-
- 115) Added:
- Support for reading and writing OEM text files was added. This feature
- allows you to edit ANSI text files (character set used by Windows) even
- if the source is an ASCII (OEM) text file (character set commonly used
- under DOS).
-
- 116) Fixed:
- The $Column and $Line TAG macros where returning incorrect results.
-
- 117) Fixed:
- If you start a second version of Zeus with the -S(econd) option Zeus will
- just re-activate the previous versions.
-
- Zeus Version 2.15 Windows 3.x, Windows 95 and Windows NT Release
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 118) Added:
- Add home and end key processing to the standard output, compiler output
- and project output. This processing moves to the home or end of the
- current line and replaces the default home and end processing provided
- by windows.
-
- 119) Added:
- Zeus now has a feature where by it warns the user if the file currently
- loaded has been changed by another application, allowing the file to be
- reloaded.
-
- 120) Fixed:
- Zeus would GPF if there where no files loaded and the user hit the Tab,
- or F6 key. This also applied to when the output windows where open. This
- has been fixed.
-
- 121) Added:
- When the file is in read only mode, an indication of the read only state
- is now shown on the file caption.
-
- 122) Fixed:
- The search and replace of tab characters would not always work because
- searching for a tab would not highlight the entire tab character. This
- is not fixed.
-
- 123) Fixed:
- The dialog box positions where being saved during the edit session but
- where not getting saved between edit sessions. Now working correctly.
-
- 124) Added:
- The line wrapping in Zeus has been enhanced to also support the smart
- indenting option as well. This means that as Zeus wraps it will smart
- indent at the same time, if this option is enabled.
-
- 125) Added:
- The Zeus extension code now has a case insensitive keyword setting. This
- should help when defining extensions for languages that are not case
- sensitive.
-
- 126) Added:
- The function list, function next and function previous commands have been
- added to the view menu.
-
- 127) Fixed:
- The replace all using the regular expression "[ ]*$" with the null
- character "" could cause Zeus to lock up in an infinite loop. This has
- hopefully been fixed.
-
- 128) Fixed:
- The Quick Help configuration option would hang when loading the new
- Windows 95 help files. This has been fixed to support some of the
- newer file formats, or to just report an error if the format is not
- recognised as a supported help file.
-
- 130) Fixed:
- The remove button in the define keymap dialog was not working due to
- a coding bug. Also keywords containing spaces where allowed, while the
- expansion would ignore such keywords. These are now working correctly.
-
- 131) Fixed:
- Some of the error message box's would not be modal to the application and
- could sometime get hidden behind the application. This has been change to
- make sure the message box always stays in front of the application.
-
- 132) Fixed:
- Zeus for Windows 3.x would paint badly if the background color was changed
- to one of the other color schemes. This would show up in the about dialog
- and the other dialog boxes. The paint will now support different color
- schemes.
-
- 133) Added:
- A functions to wrap the current line and a function to wrap the currently
- marked area have been added. These functions can be bound to function keys
- if required.
-
- 134) Fixed:
- The auto-scroll feature of Zeus used for mouse marking would not auto scroll
- along the x axis when Zeus was maximized.
-
- 135) Fixed:
- Pressing ctrl-return in the first column of a row would behave differently
- from pressing it if not on the first column.
-
- 136) Fixed:
- The brief column pasting mode as set using the Options Editor dialog was
- working in exactly the same way like in the original brief.
-
- 137) Added:
- The templates can now be defined based on the file extension. This means
- for example you could define an IF expansion for a C/C++ file while
- at the same time define an IF expansion for the Pascal files.
-
- 138) Added:
- Added the following functions to the keymap function list:
-
- BackspaceEx - Backspace at the start of line moves to the end previous
- line doing a join at the same time.
- MoveLineLeftEx - Move the cursor left but move up a line up and to the
- end of the line when the cursor hits the start of line.
- MoveLineRightEx - Move the cursor right but move up a line down and to the
- start of the line when the cursor hits the end of line.
-
- 139) Added:
- A read only check box was added to the File Open dialog. This allows a
- file to be opened for read only viewing.
-
- 140) Fixed:
- The compiler dialog was not disabling the command line input when the
- "use other file" radio button was was selected. This edit field has
- no meaning in this mode and so should be disabled.
-
- 141) Added:
- The Alt+Z DosShell command now starts the new session in the same directory
- as the current file. If there is no current file it starts the session in
- the current directory.
-
- 142) Added:
