Ebookie Version 2.2                                    93/03/29

This version of EBOOKIE is for the OS/2 versions of the "E" family of
editors (EPM Version 5.51 (also supplied as an "Applet" called
"Enhanced Editor" in OS/2 2.1) and subsequent versions).

Specials thanks to Larry Margolis, who has fixes many bugs, added code
to standard macros, and optimized the code (see "Summary of changes" at
the end of this file).

Installation:

1) Download the package to the directory where you have installed
   the editor, for example:

   D:\EDITOR

2) Unpack the file EBOOKE.ZIP.  Optionally delete the .EXE file after
   you are done.  (If installing from CD-ROM, simply copy the files
   from \editors\epm\ebooke.)

3) Edit your CONFIG.SYS and add this directory to your PATH, EPMPATH,
   and BOOKSHELF if it isn't there already; re-boot your system to
   activate the changes.

4) If you are using EPM you have to:

   a) If you are using a version better than 5.51, you have to
      re-compile bkeys.e using the appropriate version of ETPM.

   b) Edit any file with EPM, press ESC (or ctrl_i) to get a command
      dialog, and type the command "PROFILE ON". Save the options by
      clicking on "Options->Save Options" on EPM's action bar. Exit EPM.

From now on you will have EBOOKIE available whenever the editor starts,
and everything should work as advertized.  If you don't want EBOOKIE to
start automatically you can either use the command "PROFILE OFF", or
edit the file PROFILE.ERX to remove the link of bkeys.  If you have the
latest version of EPM 5.51 (or above), you may then use the command
"BOOKIE" to selectively start the EBOOKIE support.

Notes:

1) If you already have a file called PROFILE.ERX to initialize your
   EPM environment during startup, you will have to merge the contents
   of the supplied file to your PROFILE.ERX.

2) If you get errors like "unable to link bkeys", you probably have an
   old version of BKEYS.EX somewhere on your disk. Remove the old
   copies.

3) The attribute support is for EPM version 5.51.  EPM 6.0x users will
   probably prefer using the keyword highlighting capabilities to
   highlight markup.  For a SCRIPT file, try entering the command:
      toggle_parse 1 epmkwds.scr
   Attributes and keyword highlighting can not both be used at the
   same time.

4) For a complete description have a look at the "Ebookie User's Guide",
   supplied as .INF file which can be viewed with the "view" command or
   from the "Ebookie" entry in EPM's action bar.

Summary of changes in version 2.1:

1)  Added WANT_EBOOKIE flag so users can easily include or omit
    EBOOKIE support via MYCNF.E.  Also can set to DYNALINK so
    users who only use it occasionally don't have to have BKEYS.EX
    loaded all the time, but it can dynamically be linked in when
    needed.  (See comments in MYSTUFF.XMP.)

2)  Fixed up mnemonic on action bar so it works with the current
    set of macros, and defined the 'B' as an accelerator key (in 5.50
    or above) so it wouldn't hide alt+B as block mark.

3)  Restored attribute support for EPM 5.50.  Made a change so that
    inserting characters at the end of a tag won't include those
    characters in the highlighting.  Haven't been able to figure
    out how to make it work between a :hp1.:ehp1. pair, but rather
    than omit the support because of this, I added a "Fixup attributes"
    entry to the menu.  (I'll see if Jason can suggest anything.)

4)  Proper support for Enhanced_Enter_Keys.  Changed default
    bkm_attr_colors, since it didn't match the documentation.
    (Was 92, light red on a magenta background, which wasn't
    too readable; EBOOKIE SCRIPT said the default was "white on
    pink", which is 95 if pink means magenta, or 223 if pink means
    light magenta; I assumed the latter.)  Added a KEEP_HELP_AT_RIGHT
    option to specify whether the Help menu should be maintained as
    the rightmost menu.  Assumed a default of 1; you can change it if
    you disagree.  (Note that this isn't a BKM_ constant, because
    other add-ons could use the same flag.)  Got rid of all the
    Attribute support universals; most weren't used, and the couple that
    are I made constants (saves overhead of initializing the universal
    variable).

5)  Various code optimizations.

6)  Deleted some "return 0" at the end of routines where the result was
    never used.  The compiler always adds a "return" at the end of all
    routines, so the explicit "return 0" was a waste of code in many cases.

7)  Better fix to link error (so don't lose module number).  Deleted the
    include of EPMGCNF.SMP and LINK.E; you might want to ship a .ex file
    configured that way, but it's wrong for anyone who's recompiling.
    Also deleted call to 'loadattributes' from bkm_init, since that gets
    done by the DEFLOAD in LOAD.E.

8)  Pass along BKMHELP argument to bkm_help(), in case user wants to
    specify 'a' or 'c'.

9)  Added call to fixup_cursor() for GPI version of EPM.

10) Added support for REXX_SYNTAX_ASSIST to BKM_select().

11) Preserved .modify when adding footprint to a new file for quicker quit.

12) EPM shouldn't be searching EPATH.

13) Supply a BKEYS.EX for EPM 5.51 users.

Summary of changes in version 2.1a:

1) Fix 'CALL: unknown Proc MY_ENTER' error

2) Fix startup if file has no extension or filetype.

Summary of changes in version 2.1b:

1) Fix the word wrapping problem (thanks to Larry Margolis).

Summary of changes in version 2.1c:

1) BKEYS.E doesn't compile with "WANT_EBOOKIE = 1", where the code is
   included in the base .EX files.

Summary of changes in version 2.1d:

1) my_bkm_ext_def doesn't work correctly, and is not properly documented.

2) Add "bkmsym on" and "bkmsym off" commands, change pulldown

3) Fix query codepage for EPM 6.0

Summary of changes in version 2.1e:

1) The syntax support is incorrectly switched on after a tag is entered.

Summary of changes in version 2.2:

1) The file IPFTAGS.DEF contained invalid characters.

2) EPM 6.00 needs Dynalink32() instead of Dynalinkc().
