Here you can find all about Fedit's evolution. Look deeply cause you
will must probably be surprised! Really!

Version 2 - what to expect ??
. Now Fedit works under Windows, except when "editing" physical disk.
It is not safe to edit when such operating system is working. :-)
. First beta of Fedit Scripter !
This will allow you to execute many commands from a file like a batch
file. You can type all commands in the script file and Fedit will do
the rest. Very useful, because you can have a script with a procedure
that you usually do. Still beta !!!! Please READ BETA.TXT !
Use: Fedit /s filename.
. Improved README.TXT by adding a new section for new users !
. Help screen no longer appears with garbage in the bottom of screen.
. When you exited from the "Edit Mode", position was not updated on screen.
Fixed.
. Other minor visual and text modifications...

Counting Down ... Version 2 is closer...
. Several minor fixes:
- pressing End key in Edit Mode now updates the screen correctly
- scroll bar in edit mode behaves as it should
and the most important:
. Fixed a bug in edit mode that allowed the cursor to go to positions that
it shouldnt (after pressing left/right cursors in view mode).
. The README.TXT had some words badly written...
Well, nothing that a good dictionary doesnt fix ! :)

Hard Disk and Floppy dedicated Edition ! Almost ...
-> ATENTION !! ATENTION !! ATENTION !! New email !!! <-
-> Now my primary email is etfreire@ua.pt ! <-
. SimtelNet distribution. Fedit can be found in the many mirrors of this
software archive. Its the easiest way to you all !!!
. NEW !!! Menu Bar !! Now with this IDE you can easily access lots of
features !! Most important features can now be access from the menu bar.
Access:
- File Menu by pressing ALT + F
- View Menu by pressing ALT + V
- Tools Menu by pressing ALT + T
Or just by clicking your mouse pointer in the Menu Bar.
Mouse routines allow you to work either with your keyboard or mouse.
Right button is used to cancel !
. Changed the volume label key from "ALT+V" to "ALT+L" !
. NEW !!! Now you can view floppies too ! Full edit is coming soon ...
Use Ctrl + F2 to View your Hard Disks and Floppies Disks too !
Now Ctrl + F2 recognizes all physical drives and allows you to view
them. Soon you will be able to edit them...
. Hard Disk parameters are now corrected, well i hope !
. NEW !!! Drive Selector ! Use D key in main screen ( "View Mode" ).
Now you can choose the drive you are working with.
In other words, if you want to change the volume label or the serial
number of drive A, B, C, etc, you have to choose that drive so you
can work with it. Actual drive appears in the up, left corner of the
main screen.
. NEW !!! See some important information about you physical drives.
Find out the number of cylinders, heads, sectors and the total size
of your drive !
Use "\" key to access this... Want more information ??
Have some code in Pascal that would give Fedit a great help ???
If so, CONTACT ME !
. Improved Printing Procedure ( also known as Export to ), "Alt + P" in
Edit Mode. Now you can choose the file where you will export the area
to by typing its name. Just hit Alt+P in "Edit Mode" and then type the
name of the file.
. Improved '+' and '-' code in "Edit Mode". The old code did not updated
the ASCII Window when not editing memory. Now this is fixed !
. Fixed Text View Mode keys. Before, a lot of keys would work like Page
Down, now this is fixed and only Page Down scrolls a whole page !
. Fixed README.TXT which had some bugs :) in keys info and in some words.
. New "Graphic" View Mode ! Now you can view in ANSI format.
Just hit "A" in Graphic View Mode for a 80x28 text mode.
. Improved "Hex/ASCII View Mode".
. Faster update rate for memory. Displays memory contents many times per
second so youll see what is really happening inside your (D)SIMMS.
. Goto physical cylinder, head and sector !!
Press F5 in main screen (View Mode) !
. See what cylinder, head and sector youre in !
These info appears in top of the Hex Window if youre editing an hard disk
or floppy.
. Improved Left/Right Cursor behavior in "Edit Mode".
Now when you are in the end of a line and press right the cursor goes to
the start of the next line. In other words, pressing right or left will
always increase/decrease current position by one.
. Added Alt+R in Main Screen (Hex/ASCII View Mode) in case you want to
reboot your computer. This prompts for confirmation !

Version 2.0 will be amazing ...
If i get this one working :)
Want to contribute ?? Spread FEDITXXX.ZIP and contact me !
. NEW !! Now you can see your disk byte by byte...this means DISK EDITION !
Remember that this is still beta !
I remember you, that many bugs can appear, if so contact me to fix them !
ONLY VIEWING ALLOWED ! SAVING IS COMING SOON !
( ... still improving ... )
. NEW !! Another View Mode ! Its a "Graphic View Mode" !!
To Enter this mode, hit "G" in the Main Menu (View Mode).
See your file/memory/disk in another perspective !
Great if you want to see the rests of images in memory/disk/file.
Great for a visual compare ! See what happens in your memory/file/
disk using another unzoomed perspective. Like Byte Rapper !
- Keys you can use in Graphic View Mode:
.Page Up/Down
.Up/Down Cursors
.Home/End
. 1,2,3,4 or 5 to change the current palette
(1 is the default palette)
. L ( Low Mode = 320x100 )
. M ( MCGA Mode = 320x200 )
. N ( 80x50 )
( ... still improving ... )
. UPDATE !! Reviewed README.TXT, which now looks a lot more friendlier and
complete !
( ... still improving ... )
. Added Alt+S, Alt+V in "View Mode" !
* Alt+S : Changes current disk serial number !!
* Alt+V : Changes current disk volume name !!
. Added Alt+P, Alt+X in "Edit Mode" (F3) !
* Alt+P : Exports/Prints selected area to Printer or File !!
( ... still improving ... )
Alt+X : Makes a XOR operation in the selected area
. Enhanced some operations, specially aborting/canceling :
- if you want to cancel some procedure then just hit escape...
imagine that you pressed F4 ( Goto ) by mistake... hmmm...
And now how would you go back to the place where you were before ?
Simply hit Escape ! This applies to other things too.
- if you are using the menu when opening a file (F9+Enter),pressing
Delete erases the seleted file.
- Enhanced code for Insert File ( Alt+I ) in Edit Mode
. Changed '+' and '-' code again, so the change will be saved in the moment,
ONLY IF EDITING MEMORY !
. Improved "Text View Mode" ! Well, a bit... :)
- Page Up/Down now work properly
- Fixed initial position when entering "Text View Mode".
Now it starts with the same position of the "View Mode" (Main Screen)
- Now you can see the last byte, which was not shown !
( Changed a >= signal to > in the code )
. Changed vertical scroll bar code a bit... Now it works with real numbers
instead of longints. In other words, updated the code so it would work
with Disk Edition.

Friends version ! Friends version ! Friends version !
This version is only for you ! Enjoy !
. First experiences with EMS/XMS usage... (still not implemented!)
. Text View Mode final cleanup.
. Print Screen Improvement !
You can print the screen to a file and save it in TXT or RAW or
you can just print it to the printer :-)
. Changed '+' and '-' code, so the change will be saved in the moment
Useful when editing memory...
. Added Alt+B (mark begin) and Alt+E (mark end) to select a certain area
and then do several things with it... like :
. filling with a number (Alt+F)
. filling the select area with the contents of a file (Alt+I)
(copies the file bytes one by one, from the beggining of the file,
and pastes them into the selected area)
. showing the current area range and size (Alt+A)
. Other operations can be implemented in the near future :-)
. Exiting Fedit now can be completely done using the mouse.
Useful when the keyboard for some strange reason hangs.
. Some background improvements which you wont notice...
. Greetings list ! (Yeap, this can be very useful)

New and improved version !!
. Text View Mode !!!
Ok, its still beta but its almost fully working ...
To use it, press T in the "View Mode" and then you are in Text Mode !
You can see files or even the memory just as you see them in a standard
text editor. Remember that this feature isnt yet complete !
Report any bugs to me ! You will get a friendly reply :-)
. Fixed memory edition !
There was a bug when you edited a byte and then saved it.
Seems ok now ! (this one is related with the next topic)
. Fixed some problems related to the "actual byte" where the cursor was
located. Some old bugs were now discovered and removed !
. Open File is now a lot improved. Friendlier, easier, see it.
You can change directory and choose a file with keys.
To use this, just hit F9 and then Enter.
(Try hitting a letter or number key, or use Page Up/Down , End, Home)
. Changed the memory update system so it wont work when youre in edit
mode (F3). This way you can see what you changed. :-)
. Added these keys in "view mode":
Left Cursor -> Moves the view window one byte ahead in the
file/memory
Right Cursor -> Moves the view window one byte backwards in the
file/memory
. Added these keys while in "edit mode" in the hex window:
'+' increments the byte under the cursor
'-' decrements the byte under the cursor
. Fedit now opens and edits any file ... even read only and system files
I think this was a thing that Fedit was asking for...
. Updated Radioactive Design info and other important things in the docs
and images.
. Some other fixes...

Final Release !!
. Ok it was the first final release !
I made some beta versions without a lot of features... These versions
were also somehow unstable.
This version was the first to have an Help Screen and an appropriated
README.TXT. Some keys shortcuts were implemented.
. Memory viewing and edition !
Fedit v1.X beta
. Some beta versions just supporting file viewing and edition
───────────
Fedit v1.0ß
───────────
. The very, very first version !
If you ever see this version, laugh ! :-)
I think this one was published in a magazine called "Spooler".
Simple, buggy :) hexeditor.
