This is a complete rewrite of the external "XREd" editor using the
Zinc "ZIL" and Zortech C++ 3.0/rev4. It has a completely new look
and feel, much like the "XRConfig" program currently in development
(as well as the "WINXRED.EXE" compared to "WINXRCFG.EXE" - both of
which are Windows 3.0 and 3.1 applications). It is based entirely
upon object-oriented methods and uses persistant objects to store
help contexts on-disk (in the file named "XRED.DAT").
This version is bare-bones. I wanted to try out the mods I made to
the overall Zinc Interface Library 2.01 source-code, and make sure
everything *is* working as it should before adding the fun stuff...
"XRED z:\path\filename.ext" under DOS (but not windows) will cause
XREd to use "z:\path\filename.ext" as the default for opening files
(instead of "*.*"). It should automatically pass events to the
event manager to open that file and put you into the editor in edit
mode. Everything should be pretty straightforward - let me know
how it goes on your system!
WINXRED.EXE is a true WinApp suitable for Windows 3.0 or 3.1 beta
versions. It contains an imbedded ICON which will automatically be
installed when you add the program to a group.
None of the fancy stuff in the internal XRS editor nor the former
"XREd" versions is available yet - just a basic, working (under DOS
and Windows!) text editor. The maximum editable file-size is hard-
coded at 65500 bytes for now.
