OVERVIEW
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for downloading Kon!
Kon is a multi-purpose PM text-editor with a lot of useful functions.
Kon features:
* Built-in hexeditor. Switchable between ASCII and hex anytime. Hex startup
switch.
* Full control of the file you're editing, even in ASCII mode. No codes are
inserted in the document unless the ones you specify.
* Handles LF only linebreaks without converting the file
* Configurable syntax highlighting
* Configurable keys (Borland/Wordstar by default)
* Macro support.
* Undo/redo on all editor functions with configurable buffer
* Multi-threaded operation
* Column block
* Word wrap
* Highly configurable
* Opens up to 10 files in separate windows
* Usable as a file viewer in read-only mode.
* View files in file dialog before you open. Small and easy to use.
* Autosave
* Prints to printer or file
Kon does not require any specific installation. Just place Kon in a directory
of your choice and add the directory to the PATH= statement in CONFIG.SYS.

REGISTRATION INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kon is a shareware program. That means that you may use and evaluate Kon for a
period of 30 days, before you decide if you want to buy the program or not.
Since I have not crippled the program, except for a notice at program exit the
program should be considered complete and fully functional for you to fully test
and avaluate it.
Therefore, if you do not pay for the program after 30 days, you are not allowed
to use it and if you use it anyway, you're a thief. That's it.
If you register the program you will receive a license number which allows you
to use this version of Kon and all versions and bugfixes up to the next major
revision (i.e. 2.x). As a registered user you will of course get a discount on
the next major revision. When you register Kon, the registration notice at
program exit will of course disappear.
How to register:
The price of Kon is US$20.
There are two ways of registering:
1. Send me cash or a cheque by mail. If you send a cheque, add $5 for the
cashing fee.
2. Register through BMT Micro. Please read BMTMICRO.TXT for further information.
Along with the registration fee, please also supply the following information:
-You full name and adress
-Fax number (if applicable)
-E-mail adress (if applicable)
-Version number of Kon. (See Help-About...)
-Where you received Kon.
-For what tasks you're using Kon.
-What you think of Kon, improvements etc.

HISTORY
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v. 1.00 Rev. 1000 970109
-------------------------
Release version
v. 1.01 Rev. 1001 970116
-------------------------
Word-wrap added. New commands:
FormatParagraph
FormatParagraphsInBlock
Startup in read-only mode.
Startup in hex.
Notebook rearranged.
Possible to change linebreak sequence. (CR+LF or LF)
Paste word at cursor position into find dialog, and paste marked block into find
dialog. Both are options.
v. 1.01 Rev. 1002 970119
-------------------------
Significant speed improvement when moving cursor in large files. Even though
find routine is not changed, moving to the position where the text is found goes
much faster.
Doubled speed in search & replace.
Killed serious internal bug. Could give wrong character on certain positions in
a file.
Search & replace bug killed. If a short word was replaced by a longer and the
replace counter was set greater than 1, all words were not replaced.
Notebook bug in Font/color page fixed.
v. 1.01 Rev. 1003 970120
-------------------------
Added option to save window postition and size, when a window is closed.
Made Read-only mode visible by placing a red 'R' on the modified-mark position.
Stripped menu in Read-only mode, instead of greying.
Fixed a bug in FormatParagraph.
v. 1.01 Rev. 1004 970122
------------------------
Save window position and size introduced a bug, which made the editor crash in
certain circumstances, for instance when a file pattern was supplied on the
command line. Fixed.
Added labels to the upper fields in the hexeditor.
v. 1.01 Rev. 1005 970122
------------------------
Fixed bug. When holding RepatFind key down and several words are found, the
screen may be updated incorrectly. This is only a visual bug.
v. 1.01 Rev. 1006 970127
------------------------
Notebook didn't look good on resolution lower than 1024x768. Fixed. Also
adjusted statusline height.
Added option: Move cursor to end of block when pasted or copied. This is set to
default to make Kon behave like standard editing procedures.
Fixed scrollbar in hexeditor when loading very large files in hex-editor.
Turn off cursor always when window loses focus.
v. 1.01 Rev. 1007 970129
------------------------
Fixed bug in help. Could cause strange errors.
When the code was optimized in rev. 1002, a bug was introduced by mistake. When
typing in Overwrite-mode, the line end would be overtyped if reached.
v. 1.02 Rev. 1008 970130
------------------------
Added simple macro commands to .KBD-files.
v. 1.02 Rev. 1009 970131
------------------------
Added commands ScreenOFF and ScreenON for use in macros.
Fixed screen update bug in Macro.
If an error occurs in a .KBD file, Kon displays a message box stating the error,
but doesn't quit the editor.
Added option to display a message box when a string is not found.
v. 1.03 Rev. 1010 970222
------------------------
Added print support. Kon does not use OS/2's printer drivers, mainly because of
lack of time on my part to implement it. On the other hand, printing directly to
a device also gives the opportunity to print to a file very easy, which is
sometimes very handy. Kon prints both ASCII and Hex. Command: Print.
Also fixed some internals.
v. 1.03 Rev. 1011 970302
------------------------
Fixed a few inconsistencies in syntax highlighting. Also added HTML-support.
v. 1.03 Rev. 1012 970302
------------------------
Oops! Display bug when marking column-block, due to the change above.
v. 1.04 Rev. 1013 970408
------------------------
There's been a long time since I last updated Kon due to that my monitor
broke down and the fact that I had a lot to to with my studies. The repair seem
to take a very long time, and I have managed to get a replacement monitor
meanwhile.
In this release I have fixed some bugs regarding Auto-indent, which could crash
the editor if Auto-indent was turned of and use-tabs was turned on.
