- What's New:
- - Spell Checking routines. Very fast & efficient! Can be activated
- from the menu, when saving or anytime with Ctrl-E. Includes an
- ignore function to ignore all occurrences of a word in the message,
- and skip function to skip each occurrence.
- - Intelligent loading - Tide along with any of it's files can be
- located in it's own directory and Tide will 'look' there for any
- files it needs. This will allow you to easily locate Tide in it's
- own directory if desired, or anywhere you like.
- - Improved cursor movement - now wraps around the edges of lines,
- pulls to the left column on short lines, and no longer allows you
- past the bottom of the text buffer.
- - Multi-line cut/copy/paste buffer. You can now cut & paste or copy &
- paste up to 20 lines of text, rather than a single line in previous
- versions.
- - Improved word wrapping & paragraph handling. No longer wraps into
- quoted text.
- - Quote window is auto-magically opened when replying to a message.
- - F1 for help now works from remote (with doorway mode)
- - New command line parameter /Rxxx to limit the number of rows
- available for editing. eg /R20 will limit messages to 20 lines.
- - Fixed bug when using taglines that sometimes lost origin lines.
- - Many other minor bug fixes & changes..
