- LIST Version 6.3a
- ---- Aug 13, 1988

- Summary of Updates
- ------------------
-
- | - improved detection of 132-character monitor modes
-
- - added alt-O to write to a file using the same filename
- used in a previous alt-D command; omits the prompt
-
- - added alt-Y (and ctrl-P) as a reposition command. It repositions
- you to the last "active" line. That is a line positioned to by
- find/scan, or by alt-M marking of the first line.
-
- - changed alt-J, W, 8/7/* to reload the file so that the
- line count would be reset to reflect changes in the number
- of lines due to filtering.
-
- - changed alt-C cloning to not exit; the LIST.COM file is
- updated immediately, however.
-
- - increased capacity from 16k to 16m lines; the listable file
- size is now approximately 16 mb for text files, and 5 mb for
- hex dumped. The small (S) version should run with about 29k
- memory with a limit for 50k lines, or 600 kb file size in
- hex mode.
-
- - added some W* like command keys:
-
- ^X next line
- ^E former line
- ^Z next line
- ^W former line
- ^C next page
- ^R former page
- ^D scroll right
- ^S scroll left
- ^A scroll full left
-
- - added Z command to be like cntrl-PgUp; show previous file
- - added ^U to display the previous file, like cntrl-PgUp
- - added ^N to display the next file, like cntrl-PgDn
-
- - added alt-N to toggle (for cloning) the screen saving feature.
- With screen saving disabled, the minimum memory required
- becomes about 38k (or 29k with the small version).
-
- - added ability to supply more than one filespec on the
- command line; e.g. LIST *.DOC *.TXT *.ME
- LIST Version 6.3a
- ---- Aug 13, 1988
-
-
- - added ability to supply over-riding switches on the
- command line:
-
- /W turn on Wrap
- /J turn on Junk filter
- /* turn on star filter
- /8 include 8th bit
- /7 exclude 8th bit
- /H use Hex display mode
- /L pre-load file
-
- for example,
- LIST *.* /W*J
- LIST *.* /W /* /j
-
- - changed review (ctl-PgDn and ctrl-PgUp) to remember the last line
- number for each file.
-
- - added check for file deleted after alt-g (DOS shell)
-
- - added "Press ENTER" prompt after alt-f and F1 (help)
-
- - changed up/down to continually scroll; this can be enabled
- by setting continuous scroll (C) on. You can adjust the scroll rate
- by pressing to - key during scrolling to go slower, or + key to
- go faster. The direction does not change until you hit some
- other key, and then the new arrow key. You can make the current
- speed permanent by cloning with alt-C.
-
- - the continous scrolling rate is in 256 increments. when the
- maximum rate is reached, it rolls over to the slowest rate.
-
- - changed the 7 filter to show the 7-bit character regardless;
- the upside-down question mark no longer replaces 7-bit control
- characters; this improves display speed.
-
- - correct use of /S to avoid strange DOS error messages;
- if /S is supplied, it must be the last switch!
-
- - corrected alt-M so that when a range is already marked,
- using alt-M again expands or contracts the range appropriately.
- If the new line for alt-M/alt-B is before the top mark, the
- top mark is changed. If the new line is after the bottom mark,
- the bottom mark is changed. If the new line is within the
- currently marked range, alt-M changes the top mark and alt-B
- changes the bottom mark.
-
- - note about filenames: when using alt-f or answering the
- "Enter filename" prompt when no filespecs are supplied on
- the command line, be aware that CED will intercept certain
- characters and words. For example, a leading * asterisk is
- gobbled up by CED, so you must enter two of them. That is,
- instead of *.*, use something like **.*.
