- BEDIT Version 2.4 Modifications
-
-
- 1. Version 2.3 displayed the cursor in red (and cyan on the opposite screen
- side). Although it had a flashing underscore cursor, this evidently didn't
- appear on some plasma screens. Some screens (also plasma) do not even show
- highlighted text as do most b/w monitors.
-
- I added a /B switch to the command line that invokes balck and white
- (monochrome) mode. In this mode, I changed the main display to light-gray-
- on-black with balck-on-light-gray (reverse video) cursors. I also added an
- indicator on the top line that tells whether you are editing in hex or
- ASCII mode. This is to assist those who cannot see the flashing underbar
- on the active cursor. The active cursor flashes if the video system
- supports the blink attribute.
-
- 2. It is too easy to save a file by pressing F2. You can write over a file
- when you are not ready if you hit F2 by mistake.
-
- I added a prompt when F2 is pressed that makes you confirm the save and
- allows you to back out.
-
- 3. More than one user has said that I am not asking enough for BEDIT. Since
- I feel that I have made the modifications and met the demands of most
- who have contacted me, I am going to raise the price to $15. I think
- this is still very affordable. At Parity Solutions, we want to offer the
- best products at affordable prices so that you don't have to be a Fortune
- 500 comapny to use good software.
