VDE266.UPD
----------
Update Information - VDE 2.66
E. Meyer - 06/88
***** NOTE *****
Version 2.66 is expected to be the last release of CP/M
VDE. Rash as that claim may sound, consider that:
(1) All known bugs have now been fixed;
(2) As many new features have been added as memory
limitations will reasonably allow;
(3) Many people (myself included!) are using CP/M ever less
often.
So: while the MSDOS version will continue to develop, I think
CP/M VDE is about finished. Thanks to all who've helped.
***** **** *****
This is a quick guide to changes in VDE since version 2.65. Please read
VDE.DOC and VINST.DOC for full details. These changes are relatively minor;
version 2.66 is being released now in order to tie up some loose ends, and
wrap up the development of CP/M VDE. Enjoy!
VDE/VDM:
Two new Print (^KP) options allow setting the printer top and left
margin. At the "Options" prompt, type "T" followed by the number of lines to
skip, and/or "L" followed by the columns to skip:
Options: T4L12
will skip 4 lines at the top and 12 columns at the left. See PRINTING.
VINSTALL:
You can choose a default setting for the new printer left margin,
originally 0. See PRINTER INSTALLATION.
MINOR CHANGES:
Several small problems have been fixed. In addition:
1. You can now mark the end of a block (^KK) before the start (^KB) has
been marked.
2. ^QT can now be used repeatedly; it does not stall on the specified
character. (If the cursor is on a ".", "^QT." will delete to the NEXT one.)
3. Tab Set (^OI) "@n" sets tabs at column n+1, 2n+1... (not n, 2n...)
NOTE: If you also use MSDOS, look for VDE121.ARC. The DOS version of VDE
includes powerful new features such as dual-file editing and DOS commands, and
is fully compatible with the CP/M version.
