Internet Mail: megaedit@witchcraft.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED (RELEASE.TXT) VERSION HISTORY (Version 2.02 - 2.11) March 23 28, 1994 Default file type (DOS/UNIX/Mac) is now a user settable preference. Fixes to Save and Save As functions to warn about overwriting existing files in the appropriate situations. Added support for multiple files on Mega Edit command line so that all will be opened simulteaneously at start-up. Fixed problem that caused Mega Edit not to correctly display Alt+Gr characters on German keyboards. Made creation of .BAK files optional with checkoff item on Options/Preference dialog. Changed location of storage of Mega Edit data files from \windows\system to Mega Edit install directory. Added support for 3.1 Cut/Copy/Paste accelerator keys. (Ctrl+x,c,v) Fixed several bugs related to word wrap. Added support for double-clicking word in text with mouse to select it. Fixed bug that crept into 2.02 that caused BackSpace to delete two characters instead of one if cursor positioned at col 2 of any line. Minor optimizations and enhancements, memory i/o. (Version 2.01) June 16, 1992 1. Fixed bug that caused a GP fault when user hits Ctl+END when on first line of a new document. 2. Fixes to operation of Backspace and Tab keys to work properly with selected text. Formerly, hitting these keys would cause the selected text to be unselected, and then the key would operate normally. Now, Backspace will clear the selected text, and Tab will clear the selected text and then insert a tab at the location of the cursor. 3. Added support for pasting over selected text. 4. Added common dialog boxes, to stay in step with interface requirements for version 3.1 of MS Windows. The COMMDLG.DLL file is included in the distribution for backward compatibility with version 3.0. User's who have upgraded to version 3.1 may delete this file. 5. Moved the print menu command to the file menu. This seems more intuitive to many users, who are used to its position there from other applications. 6. Eliminated right-justification of the help menu. 7. Fixed bug that did not allow Mega Edit to read read-only files. 8. Added support for automatic updating for registered users from shareware versions of Mega Edit greater than version 2.0. 9. Modified behavior of initial screen sizing of program on start- up to be more in line with user suggestions. (Version 1.14) June 5, 1992 Fixed bugs related to use of DEL key. 1. If user highlighted text block and hit DEL, block would be deleted and additionally the character immediately right of the caret would also be deleted. Changed so that only the selected block is deleted. 2. When in word-wrap mode, if user highlighted text block, then either hit DEL, or selected 'Cut' or 'Clear' from the edit menu, then hit delete again to remove a blank line, editor would mistakenly delete existing text of entire line on third DEL operation. Fixed so that on third DEL operation only character to the right of the cursor is deleted. 3. Made opening behavior change so that Mega Edit's main window has an intelligent position on the monitor, and ample size for editing. (Version 1.13c) May 31, 1992 ------------ 1. Fixed bug introduced in v1.13b that failed to release memory and fix file menu when user closes a 'binary' file. (Version 1.13b) May 29, 1992 ------------ 1.

Fixed bug with File/Save All that could rename the wrong file when a file named noname is saved. 3. Fixed bug where modified binary files would trigger request to save when closing file or closing app. 4. Added support for task-threaded file write and read operations, and also for cut and paste operations. (Other applications can operate). (Version 1.13) May 15, 1992 ------------ 1. Fixed a bug related to pressing the delete key at the last character position in the file. 2. Added support for typing over selected text, and for hitting the delete key to clear selected text. 3.
