- A new version of Joe's Own Editor is complete. Get is by anonymous ftp to
- world.std.com, file: src/editors/joe1.0.5.tar.Z. Also look for it on
- 'alt.sources' This has a number of fixes and new features:
-
- - Rectangle/Column mode. I think I've made a very good implementation of
- this stuff. It's really neat, I could have used this earlier. When this
- mode is selected, the normal block commands (including filter block through
- unix command) and insert file work on rectangles. Also if overtype mode is
- set, these commands overtype instead. Also when rectangle mode is set,
- indent and unindent will work with the insertion/deletion point as the
- left side of the rectangle instead of the beginning of the lines.
-
- - Can set tab width
-
- - Can set indent/unindent step column-width and fill character
-
- - ^K ; now does a tags file search
-
- - if there's only one help screen defined, then ^KH immediatly turns on help
- instead of giving a menu
-
- - same deal with TAB completion- if only one item matches, it does a simple
- completion
-
- - unnamed files get the name first given to save file ^K D
-
- - joe is now in a subdirectory in the tar archive. Also as you can see,
- I'm including the version number along with the name
-
- - the problems with the optimizer on Xenix and with back-tab on SCO UNIX are
- fixed. You still have to use 'ttysv' with SCO UNIX- I need to get access to
- a SCO UNIX machine to make a tty interface for it. I think the posix tty
- interface is probably pretty close.
-
- - string searches were crashing when they got to the end of the file. this
- is fixed now.
-
- Hex dump edit mode, fixed record length edit more and a new 'man' page are
- on the way.
-
- The only major features which I feel are still missing are shell windows and
- background loading/demand loading. These are going to be mess as far as
- portability so they'll probably take a while.
