Updates
|
|
|
|
v1.0 : The CTRL-R (repeat) option was modified, thus making it easier to use
|
|
that command.
|
|
: The Open Apple-C (clear) option was changed to CTRL-K.
|
|
: A Spinning Cursor option was added (Open Apple-C).
|
|
v1.0a: There was an error in the Spinning Cursor option (would jump back two
|
|
spaces). This has been fixed.
|
|
v1.1 : There was a MASSIVE error in the "buffer". (would crash if you
|
|
entered in more than 5000 bytes). This has been fixed (took me long
|
|
enough)
|
|
v1.1a: There was a small error in the Clear Buffer option. (would print a
|
|
lower case "k" after you cleared the buffer, and would keep the
|
|
current screen position)
|
|
: A few "tiny" bugs were fixed. (the bytes free were not always updated
|
|
on a few commands (like Repeat)
|
|
: Some small things were added.. You will notice them when you use the
|
|
program
|
|
v1.2 : Well I thought I fixed the storage error in V1.1, but it seems that I
|
|
didn't... WELL.. It's been fixed in this version.. I've taken the
|
|
program through MANY EXCRUCIATING tests to see if it was working this
|
|
time. (the error was that you couldn't make files that were greater
|
|
than 3000 or so bytes long)
|
|
: A "Quit" option was added by the request of Tempus Thales
|
|
v1.2a: The Spinning Cursor has been sped up a bit.
|
|
v1.3 : A LOAD FEATURE HAS NOW BEEN ADDED. Yes, the highly requested command
|
|
has been added to the program. (lets you LOAD text files up so you
|
|
can edit them)
|
|
: A KeyClick option was now added so you can create the illusion of
|
|
someone actually "typing" something out.
|
|
: The Clear Buffer option command key was changed... This is the second
|
|
time I have done this, sorry... this is the last time it will be
|
|
changed.
|
|
: A help option was added. This was requested by Ivan Drago. It will
|
|
give you a mousetext chart, and a control character chart.
|
|
(when you pull up the help option, the SPACEBAR, RETURN, and ESC keys
|
|
will get you back to your file)
|
|
v1.4 : There was a MASSIVE error in the Tucking/Untucking routines I wrote
|
|
(to store and retrieve the text pages). The screen would sometimes
|
|
fill up with garbage after an old screen was restored. This has been
|
|
FIXED; I RE-WROTE the routines in ML and I changed them around a bit.
|
|
They COOK! (speed wise)
|
|
: There were alot of bugs in the Repeat Character option, they've all
|
|
been fixed. Plus the Repeat Character command has been modified a
|
|
little (the screen is now restored when you hit RETURN or abort the
|
|
repeat... thus any EXTRA characters that were on the screen cuz of
|
|
repeat command--or any characters that got deleted while scrolling
|
|
over them--will be brought back)
|
|
: There was a slight bug in the Free Movement command, whereas if you
|
|
were in MouseText mode when you went into Free Movement you would be
|
|
in Normal Text mode when you came out. This has been fixed.
|
|
: The Editor will now display the current time (if you have a ProDOS
|
|
compatable clock)
|
|
: The KeyClick option wasn't accessable by you (cuz I fucked up). Now
|
|
it can be (plus it Clicks so YOU can hear it!)
|
|
v1.4a: Slight problem that MY program isn't exactly 100% compatable with
|
|
ProTERM Special (at least the way that THAT OTHER GUY (that wrote it)
|
|
thinks it should be). I've taken a step forward in fixing this
|
|
problem, but haven't TOTALLY fixed it. V4.3 WILL have it ALL fixed.
|
|
v1.4b: Well.. After alot of testing, I've found that my program is about 98%
|
|
compatable.. I say this because, whenever I write a file and view it
|
|
the files are fine, except on a few occations.. All I can say is
|
|
the guy that wrote ProTERM Special is really fucked.
|
|
: Some small screen margin bugs were fixed
|
|
: The SAVE BUFFER feature was saving one additional byte that would
|
|
throw off a text editor, and could possible screw up your file..
|
|
This was fixed.
|
|
: I added a small text files that is a type of "Credit" file that I
|
|
would appreciate that you would load into memory before you start
|
|
writing a new file, this way I will know what files were written with
|
|
my editor, and I can see if they are working properly.. Plus it will
|
|
help others, who would like to write ProTERM Special text files, to
|
|
know what to look for (program wise).
|
|
v1.4c: There was a slight problem with the Repeat Character command. (If
|
|
you exceed the max length of 126 then what was sent to the buffer was
|
|
really fucked). This has been fixed
|
|
: Positioning bug in the Repeat Character command was fixed
|
|
|
|
** THIS IS THE LAST RELEASE UNTIL V2.0 (ML) **
|
|
(unless I find some massive bugs that need to be fixed)
