- LIST Version 7.0 10/15/89
-
- Changes from 6.3a to 6.4a
- -------------------------
-
- 6.36, 9/03/88 - When scanning for text, the messages "text not found"
- used to blink. That was changed to allow hi-itensity
- colors in 63a. The blinking has been restored.
-
- - When invoking LIST without a filename, the "New file:"
- prompt was invisible. That has been corrected.
-
- - Corrected exiting cursor after alt-E.
-
- - After toggling the 25/43(50) line mode with alt-E,
- a VGA was displaying line 25 a couple of lines
- above the bottom line. This has been fixed.
-
- - The continuous scroll rate was too fast for some
- users. The default scroll rate is now the slowest
- possible. To increase the rate, press the minus (-)
- key twice to get the fastest rate, or press the plus
- key (and hold it down) until you get the faster rate
- that you want. You can then clone (alt-C) this rate
- for future use.
-
- - When using P to print a screen, pressing any key
- wasn't stopping the printer like 62a was. This has
- been corrected.
-
- - Corrected the inability to accept one digit line numbers.
-
- - Changing or invoking a filter repositioned the display
- to line 1. This was done because the number of lines in
- the file may have changed and the position became
- invalid. The 7, 8, *, and alt-T (tab) filters now
- resume the display at the same line number. The alt-J
- and Wrap filters still restart the display at line 1.
-
- - When using +, -, or ctrl-Home to position by line
- numbers, you can now supply a line number of up
- to 8 digits. Previously, only 6 digits were accepted.
-
- - The problem of positioning to a line after the end of
- file has been fixed.
-
- 6.37, 9/08/88 - Corrected alt-E setting an invalid video mode when
- returning to 25-line mode.
-
- - Corrected alt-G failing with "Not enough memory".
-
- 6.38, 9/14/88 - improved detection of EOF for up arrow.
- 6.4a, 9/21/88 - correct PgDn skipping one line too many after up-arrow.
