EDPAT303.PRG (to update EdHak v 3.00-3.02 to version 3.03) 22 Jan 1994
If you are a registered EdHak user but have not already upgraded to EdHak
3.0, then this patch will not do you any good. In this case you need to
spend a few dollars to get the upgrade from your current EdHak ($10 from
version 2.3x or $15 from prior versions). Of course, then you won't need
this patch program, since the upgrade you get from Clear Thinking will
already be the latest version (3.03).
This archive (EDPAT303.LZH) may be distributed freely on BBS's, PD
disks, etc., but may not be sold for anything other than a reasonable
disk copying fee, such as from a user group library. The archive must
contain all the following files:
EDPAT303.TXT (this file)
EDHAK303.PAT
EDPATCH.300
EDPATCH.301
EDPATCH.302
EDPAT303.PRG
All these files are dated 1/22/94
Instructions
------------
1) Find your copy of EdHak version 3.00, 3.01 or 3.02. If it has been
modified using DC Squish or any other similar compression program, you
will first need to unSquish or otherwise uncompress it (or just locate
your original or backup EdHak disk, with the original unmodified version
of EdHak on it). This will NOT work on any version of EdHak other than
the three listed -- i.e., it will not work on any of the many beta
versions that some of you may have seen along the way, with names like
EDHAK30M.ACC.
2) Make sure you have a backup copy of it somewhere in case this doesn't
work right on your first try.
3) Also be sure you make a backup copy of at least the EDHAK303.PAT file
from the enclosed group of update files, since running the patch program
will write to this file.
4) Run EDPAT303.PRG. Be sure the EDHAK303.PAT file is in the same
directory as EDPATCH.PRG.
a) The first file you will need to choose is whichever EDPATCH.30x
file corresponds to the version number of EdHak you are updating from.
e.g., If you got EDHAK.ACC v 3.00 in step (1) above, you would choose
EDPATCH.300.
b) The second file you will need to choose is the EDHAKxxx.ACC
(or EDHAKxxx.PRG) file that you located in step (1) above.
c) The EDPAT303 program will do its thing to these two files
(a) and (b) and combine the outcome with the EDHAK302.PAT file, which
must end up being 101504 bytes long.
5) After all that, it is up to YOU to rename the file EDHAK302.PAT to
EDHAK.ACC (or .PRG or whatever you like to call your EdHak). You can
do that from the desktop by clicking once on that filename and using the
file menu "Show Info" command to change the name. You will now have the
default EdHak version 3.03 with 10K buffer. If you want to change the
buffer size you will need to use the Config command to do so. However,
any EDHAK.CFG file you were using successfully with your prior EdHak 3.0x
should still work fine with version 3.03.
CHANGES MADE ALONG THE WAY
==========================
EdHak 3.03 15 Jan 1994
Shift-space with no block selected just yields space.
Removed "Really want to Quit?" alert.
Added "Save Changes?" check for Closebutton exit as PRG or MDX.
Change "too big for" to "larger than" in dialog boxes (major change!)
Add Cancel option to Text/Hack/Hex toggle.
Fixes MultiTOS kwiksend (which also seems to fix it for those those
remaining European word processors that had a problem with it before.
Fixes problem some people had with Spelling Sentry.
EdHak 3.02 ...
Drag & drop file opening as a NeoDesk Accessory!
To use this, you must have NeoDesk v 2.05 or greater. Have
EdHak loaded as an ACC, and then Set Preferences in NeoDesk to recognize
EdHak as a NeoDesk Accessory (v Neo 3.0 or greater) or for earlier
versions of NeoDesk manually add "EDHAK" to your NeoDesk Acc list
file.
Fixed display when do Alt-Delete with window shifted to right;
Shift-Clr-Home from top of buffer now always sets cursor to bottom
of window even when there is less than a full window of text;
Removed shift-space warning when no block is selected;
Changed non-clipboard block save/merge to BLOCK.TXT from SCRAP.TXT;
Made line/char status display in current font size;
Horiz scroll much faster (now uses blitting);
Allow bigger display fonts;
Fixed undeletable file problem (little bug in Merge routine);
Fixed display when scrolling cursor down below screen;
Fixed crash if > 128 columns displayed (was due to VDI limit);
Fixed couple little display weirdnesses with long lines;
What version 3.01 fixed in 3.00...
You can exit the block number dialog (the thing where you get to pick
buffer size or part of file to load) by hitting Return, as it should be.
In TOS 1.0 (or when running in MultiDesk) if you use the menu to go to
the config screen, you now don't instantly skip over the first screen.
With a column block marked, the highlighting now never goes beyond the
edge of the window.
Not exactly a bug fix, but an improved feature: When doing a block
shift left (Ctl-Space), the block now remains highlighted for easy
multiple shifts.
