2.8.1
  - Created a demo version for distribution which has a file size
    limit of 1000 lines.
  - The W95 version now looks for the help file in the directory
    containing the executable as does the OS2 version.
  - Made help text window slightly wider in W95 version.
  - Single line undo records are no longer converted to BSHIFT type
    instead there is a new SLINE2 type which can be used with ALTQ
  - The window size is now properly stored after change in size in the
    W95 version.
  - Fixed non-functional Reverse and Find menu item. This was wrecked
    recently but is fixed now.
  - Changed menus slightly so that in some cases the menu text is
    changed depending on the current status.
2.8.0
  - Fixed crash caused by hitting the code reflow key two times in a
    row without remarking.
  - Changed editor.cfg for W95 version so that font size is not stored
    as a -ve number.
  - Fixed a few problems with the bracket matching part of the syntax
    colouring.
  - The previously non functional accelerator for save all changed menu
    item now works. Also the screen and status are now updated after a
    save all changed so that the visual status is correct.
  - The result of a search is now highlighted with a red box.
  - Fixed cosmetic bug which sometimes left an unblinking cursor on the
    command line.
  - Changed the text cursor to a C shape provided insert is on.
    This clearly indicates the insertion point as well as the
    current character. If insert is not on the cursor is a rectangle
    as before.
  - Added Macro Read and Keymap Read menu items which should
    make if more obvious how to read in edited definitions.
  - Fixed crash caused by reading in macro definitions containing
    an error.
2.7.9
  - First complete Win95 version.
  - Completely revised mouse drag scrolling so that its much smoother and
    the speed depends on distance of the mouse pointer from border.
  - The plain text macro_list width is now set for the scroll bar.
  - The editor will now search two directory levels up as well as the
    current directroy for the editor.cfg file before getting the default one.
    Thus by putting an editor.cfg in a parent directory the preferences will
    apply to all the sub-directories two levels down.
2.7.8
  - Scrollbar thumb size is set now when the plain text macro list is opened.
  - Tested all right click menu helps.
  - Rearranged Mark menu and eliminated duplicate alt y menu selection.
  - Extensive internal changes for Win95 version.
  - Fixed a very ugly bug with tagged folding. If no fold regular expression
    existed and ALT- was hit the editor would crash on the next write to disk.
  - The editor now generates a backup file called editfile.bak of the previous
    contents of a file before writting the new file to disk.
2.7.7
  - Fixed a rare problem that can cause a crash on case insensitive searches.
  - Numeric dialog works again for inputting a command multiplier.
  - Fixed problem with syntax colouring unbalanced testing that sometimes
    failed to indicate an unbalanced bracket.
2.7.6
  - Plain text macro list is now available.
  - Plain text key mapping list is now available.
  - New right click help is now also available for greyed out menu items.
  - Made the comment scan for syntax colouring a little faster and the editor
    a bit smarter in determining when to do one.
  - Fixed recently introduced problem with rogue characters appearing at
    right edge of screen with block mark on.
  - Second number after a filename is now only interpreted as a column
    number if it is less than 128.
2.7.5
  - New menu help. Right click to get info on a menu item.
  - If key mapping is on then the new accelerator is displayed in the menu
    and in the help for this item.
  - Added option of turning off the bracket match part of syntax colouring
    to the syntax colouring configuration notebook.
  - If a preprocessor line is changed then it will now appear in the changed
    colour.
  - For files that have lines longer than 256 chars syntax colouring is now
    automatically turned off.
  - Many internal changes to accomodate Win95 version.
2.7.4
  - Fixed tagged folding crash which happened when switching from tagged
    folding to other folding.
  - If lone alt menu access is on another alt key hit will end the menu mode.
  - Sundry bug fixes to syntax colouring.
2.7.3
  - Fixed minor problem with line(s) not coloured as changed after an
    ALTJ (justify) command.
  - If syntax colour mode is on then ALTR the reflow command rather than
    reformatting a text paragraph reformats the code to fix indentation
    problems. The current tab size is used as the indent size.
2.7.2
  - Added new Syntax configuration notebook page that allows setting of
    comment start/end delimiters and colours for quotes and comments.
  - Fixed non-functional default io tab size check box in cfg notebook.
  - Changed default keystroke for search for previous word matching one under
    cursor to Alt+/ from Alt+# since this is right next to * on the
    numeric keypad and hence has nice symmetry.
  - Command line greps run asynchronously again as before 2.7.0 unless prefixed
    by "os".
2.7.1
  - Search and replace now pops up an error dialog if the file is read only.
2.7.0
  - A command line starting with "g " or "grep " is still passed to the
    OS but the second white space delimited word is now saved as the current
    search string and the search mode set to regular expression.
  - Ctrl Shift accelerator combinations are now recognized without
    relying on character case so that now if caps lock is on the control
    keys still work as expected without additional shifts.
2.6.9
  - On using the command line rename command the file time is set to
    the current time to avoid problems with erroneous newer file exists
    warnings if a file of same name already exists.
  - Before allowing a file name change using the rename command the name
    is tested to see if a file of this name already exists and if so a
    confirm dialog is displayed.
2.6.8
  - At the end of a set of commands executed using command multiplication
    the status line is now rewritten.
  - If the error message "no undo items left" appears any further CTRL U s
    queued up are now flushed.
  - Multiple instances of the editor are now no longer initially positioned
    on top of each other.
  - ALTJ now left justifies current line with line above if the last
    operation was not a line(s) copy or move otherwise it left justfies
    the moved or copied block of lines as before.
  - Fixed problem with missing already loaded warning for duplicate files
    loaded from the command line caused by "fix" of version 2.6.7.
  - During search and replace the status line is now updated before each
    user query dialog.
  - Whole word check box in search and replace dialog is no longer ignored.
2.6.7
  - Fixed problem when loading files from command line containing wildcards
    in a relative path name.
2.6.6
  - Fixed crash caused by illegal regular expression search ending in a (.
2.6.5
  - The number of undo records is now properly kept track of across folds.
    I thought this was already the case in 2.6.3 but apparently it was not.
  - Search and replace changes are now properly transferred across folds.
  - Shifting a block up or down is now disabled while folded since it didn't
    work across the fold and is too expensive to fix. It also doesn't seem
    very useful.
  - Blocks shifted up or down now immediately exhibit the changed colour.
2.6.4
  - Changed way that changes to files are kept track of. It should now
    only indicate that a file is unchanged if it matches the most recently
    saved version.
2.6.3
  - The number of undo records is now properly kept track of across folds.
  - ALTJ justification of copied blocks is now transferred across folds.
  - Deleting an ALTB marked block will once again cause the remainder
    of the lines to assume the changed colour.
2.6.2
  - Updated help and documentation.
  - Output from command line functions like asc no longer beeps since
    these are not errors.
  - Added tabbed folding support.
  - Added full tagged folding support.
  - It is no longer possible to reflow (ALT R) a paragraph while file
    is folded since this doesn't make much sense.
  - If on a duplicate file warning the load is cancelled the editor
    now makes the existing file of that name the current one provided
    no other new files have been loaded.
  - Fixed non functional regular expression searches with bracketed
    sub expressions.
  - Fixed problem with transferring edits across a fold in the case
    of inserting a line(s) right below the top of file marker.
  - The changed state of a line is now properly kept track of across folds.
  - Added command line "diff" function used to find the differences
    between files.
2.6.1
  - Trailing blanks are now removed from search string since this can
    lead to hard to diagnose search failures and whole word search is
    better served by the w flag anyway.
  - Reverse direction regular expression search now finds the longest
    matching string rather than the first match. This also fixes a
    problem with search and replace undo involving regular expressions.
  - Search and replace now works properly with the whole word flag.
  - Editor now shows clock while searching and executing repeated key strokes
    as well as during file IO.
  - Fixed problem with automatic justification of last copied/moved block
    (ALT J) if some block lines below first start more to the left.
  - If the file is saved and an undo record exists for the current line
    the record is not modified by subsequent edits so that the file can
    always be restored to the same state as the saved file.
  - The duplicate file warning now allows an optional cancel of the load.
  - Removed status line update which sometimes happened after the editor
    thread had already terminated causing an occasional harmless crash upon
    exit.
  - Scrolling a marked block left or right while folded is now properly
    transferred across the fold.
  - Fixed problem with files created by other editors containing only a single
    line with no CR of LF. Last char is no longer duplicated.
2.6.0
  - Editor now shows the clock while reading and writing files.
  - Added new command line function to change the current directory and drive.
  - The last opened file name is now always remembered with the full path.
  - The path of the last saved file using the SAVE AS menu item is now
    remembered for subsequent reuse. It is also stored in the editor.cfg.
  - Fixed erroneous error message if saved to current file using SAVE AS
    and file is not read only.
2.5.9
  - Fixed problems with folding showing only lines containing search string.
    Now works if last search option was up and works properly with the
    whole word option.
2.5.8
  - Editor no longer crashes if def_io_tab_size field in editor.cfg is
    inadvertantly set to zero.
  - Modified how tab expansion works in order to be compatible with other
    editors such as e, epm, and Borland IDE. CAUTION old files may no longer
    be formated exactly the same if they were saved with tab compression on.
  - Corresponding change in how leading space tab compression works.
2.5.7
  - Fixed problem with missing last character if last line in file did not
    have a linefeed character before the end of the file.
2.5.6
  - Removed debug code accidentally left in version 2.5.5 which continually
    added to the file dbug.txt.
  - Whole word search modified so that '_' and '$' are no longer considered
    end of word delimiters. This was done since these chars may appear in a
    C identifier.
2.5.5
  - The editor no longer gets confused about the file update cronology when
    a short file is rapidly saved twice or more.
  - Fixed problem with whole word search (/w flag) when the target word is at
    the end of a line.
2.5.4
  - Updated Latex documentation and corresponding .dvi and .ps files.
  - Fixed problem with case insensitive searches started on a blank line.
    These would sometimes give a useless numerical error message.
  - Added new search option flag /w to constrain searches to match whole
    words only.
  - Find next/prev word under cursor make use of whole word matching and
    work more reliably now.
2.5.3
  - Fixed problem introduced in 2.5.2 when trying to load in a file whose name
    starts with a '\'.
2.5.2
  - Added configuration parameter that allows the use of the custom tab size
    for replacing spaces during file I/O provided tab compress is also on.
  - For files loaded from the command line or start parameters a file name
    containing the wild card '*' causes all matching files to be loaded.
  - Placemark positions now survive the additions and deletions of lines in
    a folded mode.
  - Fixed problem that prevented blocks from being copied to a position
    after a line entered in a folded mode.
  - Fixed problem with block change case that sometimes caused block to be
    filled with 'A's.
  - All menu items now have default accelerator key assignments.
  - Added fourth folding type. ALTH shows all lines in a file containing
    a placemark.
  - No longer crashes when attempting to paste from an empty clipboard with
    a line marked.
  - Fixed interchange of error beep and right justify parameters in config save
  - Column position reported on status line is now numbered from 1 rather
    than 0.
  - Added a clear all placemarks command (ALTI) in goto menu.
2.5.1
  - Removed any punctuation from end of filenames. Fixes problem with
    double click load of these files from a readonly file.
2.5.0
  - Reads EXTENSIONS field in *.ndx files now to determine wildcard rather
    than assuming '*'.
  - Added "Save All Changed" menu item to the file menu which saves all the
    changed files to disk.
  - Drastically speeded up case insensitive searches in large files.
  - Added copying of single marked lines to command line using ALTC.
  - More than one file may now be dragged and dropped on the editor at once.
  - It is now possible to drag and drop *.cmd files to the editor.
2.4.9
  - Sundry changes to allow the editor to compile under UNIX again.
  - Fixed bug introduced in 2.4.7 which caused crash when reading in files
    with lines greater than 256 characters.
  - The full file name is now used after a command line rename.
  - State of readonly and binary flags for the file dialog is now properly
    stored in the editor.cfg
2.4.8
  - Fixed problem introduced in 2.4.7 with files ending with a ^Z.
  - The double click invoked search of *.ndx files is now case insensitive.
2.4.7
  - Removed extra carriage returns from ALTW saved blocks.
  - The editor will now read text files with lines terminated with CrLf or Lf
    and saves them the same way.
2.4.6
  - Fixed crash caused by searching for zero length regular expressions.
  - Command line search strings may now contain the search delimiter itself
    for searches but not for search and replace (use other punctuation)
2.4.5
  - Increased the horizontal size of the confirm and command dialog boxes
    to accomodate the longer file names caused by always prepending path.
  - The Save As... menu item is now active for read only files and allows
    a read only file to be saved provided name is changed.
  - Added space to found word under cursor for use with ALT* and ALT# so
    that all matches are now exact.
  - No longer interprets trailing numbers as line and column if word under
    cursor in read only file is not a file name and mouse is double clicked.
2.4.4
  - If a file name in a read only file is followed by two numbers
    the second one is interpreted as a column number if the mouse is double
    clicked on the name.
2.4.3
  - Some more font size choices are now available by using fonts meant for
    other screen resolutions.
  - All load filenames are now converted to the full path so that testing for
    duplicates and newer versions can be reliably done.
  - Reload prompt in case of a newer saved file of the same name now also works
    with read only files.
  - Fixed bug that prevented simultaneous selection of the read only and binary
    options in the open dialog.
  - Duplicate file warning message, if applicable, is now properly displayed
    for files loaded from the open dialog.
  - The last loaded file name, the last search string, the last replace string
    the last search options and the last load options are now also saved in the
    editor.cfg.
  - To prevent the proliferation of editor.cfg files. The editor no longer
    creates editor.cfg files execpt if no editor.cfg could be found. A local
    editor.cfg is read and updated if found otherwise the default one is used.
  - Fixed a number of problems with undoing and redoing across folds.
    Hopefully the folded and unfolded views will now be synchronized.
  - It is no longer possible to operate on a marked block in the unfolded
    file while looking at a folded view. This prevents a few crash modes.
  - For a bracket match if matching bracket is currently visible window is no
    longer vertically scrolled.
  - Fixed occasional problem with bracket match on short, less than a single
    page files.
  - Fixed problem with case insensitive searches from dialog when search
    string contained capitals.

    icon onto the the editor window will now load that file.
2.4.2
  - Line numbers are now properly updated after paste from clip board.
  - Fixed crash caused in some cases when moving an ALT B marked block up or
    down over shorter lines.
  - With conventional return selected a carriage return while on the top of
    file marker now adds a new line.
  - With conventional return selected and auto indent on lines are now
    properly indented.
  - Folded views are now completely editable.
  - Fixed bug introduced in 2.4.1 causing case sensitive searches to fail
    when preceeded by a character with a code above 127.
2.4.1
  - Added "asc" command line command which converts a hex or decimal number
    into an ASCII character.
  - Modified the command line commands "hex" and "dec' so that they can
    accept an ASCII char as input in the format 'c'.
  - Made sure that all the is***() macros used also test for characters
    above 128 so that the editor should now be 8 bit clean.
  - The load font routine now uses the current code page rather than
    always code page 850.
2.4.0
  - Fixed bug which caused lines ending in ASCII chars above 128 to be
    partially erased. This bug was introduced in v2.3.7 as part of the
    trailing blank removal.
  - The write region command now writes a message to status line indicating
    that the region has been written.
  - The drop down menu items "lines with search string" and "write region"
    now function properly from menu as well as with the accelerators.
  - It is no longer possible to join a line to the top of file marker.
  - Added ALT* forward and ALT# backward search for word equivalent to
    the one under the cursor.
  - Fixed crash caused by attempting a regular expression search with the
    regular expression special characters * or +.
  - Fixed cosmetic problem with ALTN or ALTB marked blocks that extended
    beyond right margin of display. The last characters are now properly
    highlighted.
2.3.9
  - Reversed order of key map entries to be consistent with macro definitions.
    Existing key map files will need to be edited in order to work again.
  - Fixed crash caused by trying to load non-existent file using the open
    dialog.
  - Fixed problem with shift+arrow marking if region reduced to zero.
  - Fixed reversed FINDDIALOG and REPLACEDIALOG entries in keynames.h
2.3.8
  - If Alt+R is hit with the cursor in an Alt+B marked region the
    lines within the marked block are reformated with the left and right
    margins set by the left and right limits of the marked block.
2.3.7
  - 16 colours are now allowed for the background colour choices.
  - Fixed problem with marked lines appearing as white on white for some
    choices of back and fore ground colours.
  - The key combination Alt+backspace is now equivalent to Ctrl+U i.e undo
    last change.
  - The editor now automatically executes a test newer key code at the end
    of system calls in order to test if a newer version of the current version
    has been created as a result of the system call.
  - Changed copy marked region to clipboard and delete key to shift+del from
    ctrl+del in order to be consistent with other editors.
  - Fixed strange behaviour when using shift up/down with the cursor in the
    first column.
  - Fixed bug introduced by recent elimination of file limit marking
    message. Cursor position is now correct after attempts to mark limits.
  - The newly loaded file is now displayed even if the "duplicate file"
    message appears.
  - Fixed problem with editor sometimes adding trailing spaces to a line.
    All trailing spaces are now removed whenever a line is edited.
  - Fixed inactive "write marked block" menu item.
  - Increased size of "other files" dialog box.
  - It is no longer possible to split begin or end marker lines.
  - Double clicking on a file name in a read only file can now handle drives
    as part of the path.
  - Fixed bug which made the second file in the start up file list the initial
    current file rather than the first one if key mapping was on.
2.3.6
  - The bind macro message now no longer disappears if a modifier key is hit.
    It is thus more obvious that a macro CAN be bound to ALT F12 say.
  - The "cannot mark file limits" error message no longer appears. Instead
    an attempt to mark the file limit lines now just marks up to but
    not including the limit lines.
  - The filename (minus the path) now appears in the title bar.
  - If an error occurs during multiplied execution the command multiplier is
    set to zero.
  - The editor no longer crashes trying to load a file that is locked.
2.3.5
  - Fixed non functional auto wrap if screen was scrolled to left.
  - Attempting to write to a newer version of the same file will generate
    a warning message.
  - ALT J expanded to work with just moved ALTL marked set of lines as well
    as with copied lines.
  - Undo records are now made everytime the cursor is moved off the current
    line provided the line was changed and undo generation is turned on.
    Thus making a change going down a line then up again and making another
    change will now result in two undo records rather than one.
  - Fixed bug with undoing changes in a folded view.
  - Fixed bug with editing folded views.
2.3.4
  - The *.ndx path setting in the config menu has been changed so that it is
    now the semi colon separated paths rather than the fully qualified names.
    Double clicking will cause a search for all *.ndx files in the given
    directories.
  - The menu dialogs such as Open..., Find... are now optionally accessible
    by key stroke(s) provided a key assignment has been made using the key
    mapping facility and key mapping has been enabled.
  - First click of any of the mouse buttons now activates the editor.
  - Both halves are now always redrawn when window is split.
  - The font sizes in the font dialog are now sorted and duplicates removed.
  - The number of files loaded is now reported in the title banner.
  - If a file as been changed this is now reported on the status line.
  - The "Ohers..." dialog now indicates which files have been changed.
  - Confirmation dialog now has yes on left and no on right as is conventional.
  - Carriage return adding of blank line with auto indent on now
    ignores blank lines and indents to nearest non blank line above.
  - Cursor no longer blinks when editor is not active.
  - Fixed bug that occured when joining a marked region to an unmarked
    region with CTRL J.
  - Added ALT J which justifies last copied ALT L block.
  - On switching to a new file the editor now checks file time and date to
    see if newer version exist on disk and if so prompts for a reload.
  - Increased configuration notebook page size slightly so all controls are
    visible even at 480 x 640 resolution.
  - It is no longer possible to merge a file into a read only file.
  - If the cursor is in a marked block to be deleted it now always
    ends up in a consistent place so that ALTD in a macro is more predicable.
  - Fixed problem with writing marked block to disk occasionally adding
    junk to the end.
  - Fixed problem with system calls in macros.
  - The "already marked" message no longer appears. Instead the previously
    marked region is unmarked. This is now consistent with mouse and shift
    cursor marking behaviour.
  - Shift+cursor marking now marks one less character for consistency with
    other editors.
  - Folded views are now editable to a limited extent. Lines may be edited
    but not added or deleted.
  - Fixed null move crash i.e. ALTL, up arrow, ALTM -> crash.
2.3.3
  - First mouse click in window now only activates window.
  - Added Ctrl+Del copy and delete marked region to clip board.
  - Exiting application with close from system menu now recognizes when only
    one line has changed.
2.3.2
  - No longer possible to ask for view of lines containing search string
    if  there is no search string defined.
  - Enter literal (unmapped) character function now available from menu
  - The ALT W keystroke now writes the currently marked region to the file
    "editblck.tmp".
  - ALT S rather than ALT W is now used for folding to show all lines
    containing the current search string.
  - ALT J and ALT S are no longer equivalent to CTRL J and CTRL K
    respectively. If you are addicted to these assignments set up a key
    mapping.
  - Quiting current file now causes previous file to become active rather
    than the next file. Restores behaviour to pre version 2.3.1.
2.3.1
  - Modified behaviour of the system calls initiated with "os string".
    These are now single threaded in order for predictable use in macros.
    System calls initiated without the leading "os" are still multi threaded.
  - If $EDNAME appears in a command to be sent to the OS it is
    replaced with the name of the file.
  - Fixed problem with endkey if end of text scrolled off to the left.
  - Fixed scroll button bug introduced in v2.3.0.
  - In binary mode status line reports byte offset rather than line number
    and offset.
  - In the hexadecimal binary mode searches for patterns are
    only satisfied if the character offset is even.
  - In the hexadecimal binary mode the search is automatically
    converted to upper case.
  - Cursor movement with the shift key down now causes the traversed region
    to be ALTN marked (standard marking).
  - Moving the scroll bars, no matter how rapidly, to their end stops now
    always causes the corresponding end of the file to be visible.
  - Using the vertical scroll bar no longer resets horizontal cursor
    position to first column.
  - Double clicking on the system menu (or ALT F4) now quits application
    rather than just closing the current file.
  - Fixed problem with crash after ALTL, ALTD and then ctrl insert.
  - It is no longer possible to paste to read only files with shift insert.
2.3.0
  - Redirected stderr to an editor file so compilers writing to stderr
    rather than stdout will also have error messages appearing in an
    editor file in the ring.
  - Made location of cursor after conventional return more conventional.
  - Removed extra space caused by backspacing to the previous line.
2.2.9
  - Text entry fields in dialogs are now given input focus when opened.
  - Reflow paragraph (ALT R) accessible from edit menu.
  - New page in config notebook to set path to *.ndx files used to find
    compiler help items.
  - Text size limits in all dialog boxes increased.
  - Optional lone alt key access to menu bar (turned on in config).
  - Scroll bars now work if key mapping is on.
  - A new check box has been added to the misc page of the config notebook.
    This check box allows conventional (non 'e') return key behaviour.
  - Backspace now wraps up to previous line if it reaches beginning of
    the current line.
2.2.8
  - Paste from clipboard is now active from dialog boxes and command line.
  - Clipboard operations can be included in keystroke macros.
  - Backtab now works.
  - Fixed clipboard problem with increasing number of line feeds.
  - If new lines are added in the middle of a marked region they are now
    also marked.
  - It is no longer necessary to restart editor in order to start key
    mapping after it is selected from config dialog.
2.2.7
  - Added owner draw flag to directory listbox so file dialogs now have
    standard appearance.
  - Fixed problem with copying N marked blocks to clipboard.
2.2.6
  - Added quick search dir reversal.
  - Added Redo? option to search and replace confirmation dialog.
  - Fixed cursor not blinking with white background.
  - Added 8 more foreground colours. Background colours are
    still however limited to 8 due to implementation details.
2.2.5
