VERSION LOG
version remarks
--------------------------------------------------------------
7.46 MAJOR BUG fix again. For some reason 7.45 did not
work quite right either. This version should perform
most adequately.
7.45 MAJOR bug fix. Some copies of 7.44 never actually
worked!? This horrible bug was introduced when I used
Version 1.5 of the Borland TURBO C libraries instead
of version 1.0! In version 1.0: memcpy copies
overlapping memory areas correctly (as the manual
states); in version 1.5, it DOES NOT. I do not know
about version 2.0. I built 7.45 with version 1.0
libraries. I have since changed all memcpy calls to
memmove (which does work correctly). Fortunately,
Captain Blackbeard never fell into this pit!
7.44 Even better set cursor size. Language window when no
file present bug fixed.
7.43 File no longer update when non-text altering operations
occur, such as grab marked region. (This has been a
long standing annoyance).
Set cursor size works better with bb.cfg now.
8-5-1988
7.42 Regular expression search works correctly when replacing.
({[]}) balancing
7.41 Set default cursor size of color fixed.
Filenames with space cannot be created or opened.
7.40 Fix bug when bb.lng is empty and BBDIR is set --
generated bdos errors and file too long message.
Adjustable cursor size.
Save/Restore file always! in current directory!
Set delims accepts ASCII key entry for movement.
Goto file ignore bogus file characters when at left
edge of screen bug fix
7.39 Fix for bug when no help file found.
7.38 Pre-release test version of 7.39
7.37 1. Improved code to look for help file.
2. Changed tab size to be the number of spaces
inserted for a tab character during compression and
expansion. Tabs can be set using the ruler command
(Alt-8 and then Alt-A).
3. Improved environment search so that the root
directory is processed correctly.
4. Print marked region.
7.36 Changed form.txt and help message for prompt line editing

10. Find does not reset status line during disk reads.
11. Blackbeard looks in additional places for CFG,
PST. If no local BB.CFG, BB.MAC, BB.LNG, BB.PST,
then the symbol is looked for, if no symbol if
found then the directory corresponding to symbol
BBDIR is searched for the appropriate file.
12. Removed bdos errors when changing to file that is

read errors.
