WSedit - Write&Set Editor 1.00 beta 12    October 2016

for OS/2 and eComStation


                 www.WriteAndSet.com

Wordstar like Editor available for OS/2, Windows, Linux and 
MacOSX which reads Wordstar 4-7 and ASCII (ISO and IBM code
page) and writes Wordstar 4 and ASCII format (ISO and IBM 
codepage).
WSedit is part of the wordprocessing suite "Write&Set" which 
consists of two programs: WSedit and WSformat. WSformat is 
not part of this archive file. WSedit as stand-alone 
application is Freeware, WSformat is Shareware.

--------------------------------------------------------

WSedit beta 12: small bugfixes. Drag and Drop Macintosh 
works now: Pressing Ctrl simulates the right mouse button, 
Apple key instead of Ctrl key copies the block instead of 
moving.

In WSedit beta 11, the text screen output and the blinking 
text cursor has been revised. In the used program library 
were bugs, I've rewritten parts of this functionality. 
Especially on the Macintosh platform, there were serious 
problems.

New in WSedit 1.00 beta 10/11: 'File - Additional window' 
opens additional editor windows for the same file which get 
updated automatically. In beta 9, drag and drop has been 
(re-)implemented on all platforms.

WSedit 1.00 beta 10 Linux and Mac were defective, they could 
not start.
[console app] | me in
works now in beta 11 on Linux and Mac.

All WSedit 1.00 versions besides the OS/2-eCS version are 
created by a new programming environment (Freepascal- 
Lazarus).

Some user interface functionality which worked fine in 0.99 
will perhaps fail. Please collect the malfunctions and send 
them to me. It is not possible for me to test all function
ality on all four operating systems.

Drag and drop is now implemented on all platforms again 
(with the RIGHT mouse button, on MAC use CTRL key instead). 
Function key functionality is now operating again. All 1.00 
beta versions have got no additional functionlity since 
0.99k.



--------------------------------------------------------


To install, open WSedit-e.hlp and read the chapter 
"Introduction - installation". You can directly execute the 
WSedit.exe program and create a program object by yourself.

The idea of WSedit is to have a modern graphical application 
with look-and-feel of old Wordstar for DOS. But you can also 
use WSedit without knowing Wordstars Ctrl-commands ("Ctrl" 
is abbreviated ^) and without knowing about the Wordstar 
file format: if you don't use the Wordstar file format, 
WSedit is a powerful text editor for large ASCII files with/ 
without word wrapping. In this case, it will be nevertheless 
useful for you to take a look at the dot commands for unfor
matted files and at the Ctrl commands.

The behaviour of WSedit depends on the text file extension. 
In the settings notebook (Ctrl-OO), you can define different 
properties dependent on the file extension of the file.

Most Wordstar commands are supported, press Ctrl-J for a 
Ctrl key summary.

New functionality/improvements in WSedit 0.99k:

O  Line drawing with cursor keys (IBM codepage only): Simply 
   press Ctrl-Alt-Cursor keys for single lines and Shift- 
   Alt-Cursor keys for double lines. Edge characters are 
   calculated automatically.

Bugs fixed in WSedit 0.99k:

O  Malfunction with block operations within indented 
   paragraphs (snow characters)
O  program hangs when using "Undo" after text insertion 
   (paste from clipboard, Ctrl-KC, Ctrl-KV)

New functionality/improvements in WSedit 0.99h:

O  (0.99h1) Ctrl-OJ "generate character map" generates an 
   ASCII table in comment lines
O  Ctrl-OD "show printer chars": without printer chars text 
   an be edited now (restricted, because printer chars 
   remain on previous position)
O  Ctrl-B and Ctrl-OG indention gets calculated correctly 
   when using with printer chars
O  Ctrl-QA "search/replace" affects only running text and 
   not dot commands. New command Ctrl-QN affects dot 
   dommands only
O  Tab key in overwrite mode jumps to tabulator positions
O  right-orientated columns with ".tb#10,#20", while the 
   numbers behind ".tb" relates to the last character in the 
   column
O  undo/redo keycode is now Ctrl-Backspace (Alt-Backspace 
   still works, but forces a system beep in Windows)
O  "File - New Window" did not work (Windows version only)
O  Ctrl-U "paste trash buffer" created an additional single 
   space (Windows version only)
O  and a lot of minor bugfixes, not worth to mention.

   dependent on the nested if conditions level (new checkbox 
   in settings notebook, page Highlight)
